Knowledge and perceptions of religious leaders toward HIV prevention among young people in a resource-limited setting: A qualitative study.

Background: Currently, 410,000 new HIV infections among youth occur worldwide, which is a significant public health issue. Members of the clergy can be trustworthy allies in the reduction of HIV infections among the youth.
