dc.description.abstract	The dissertation concerns itself with the task of exploring barriers to disclosure of HIV and AIDS status amongst Christians with reference to Shining Light Ministries at Tierpoort. It was motivated from the challenges that some of our members are facing after I encouraged them to do HCT (HIV Counselling and testing). Because I discovered that people discover very late that they are infected with HIV. Secondly, I will address the barriers by suggesting and recommending how the church and its pastoral care ministries can empower congregants on how and why they should disclose their HIV and AIDS status.	en
