Abstract

A contemporary reading of Romans 1:27 was disguised as a saying by Paul Benjamin, AD 58 and administered to 275 randomly
selected members of a private Christian university community in south western Nigeria in West Africa. Participants were asked
to respond to a two item questionnaire on their perception of the cause of HIV/AIDS either as a judgment from God or
consequence of individual lifestyle choices. The apparent consensus drifted in the direction of God as the culprit handing down
his judgment to perpetrators of evil who engage in the homosexual lifestyle. The goal of this paper was to examine the
implications of a judgmental stance on addressing the psychosocial needs of Persons Living with HIV/AIDS in religious
environments. It also explores how service providers in faith based environments can work around the Judgment versus
Consequence tussle in providing non discriminatory services to persons diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
