Resolved, That this 71st General Convention acknowledge, as part of our own growing understanding of the complexity of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the systemic nature of its modes of transmission and our own inability to seek repentance of our prejudices that make a direct contribution to the spread of HIV/AIDS, that as a church we will work to affirm the necessity of accessible drug treatment, needle access, safe sex programs, and the affirmation of monogamy in all sexual relationships, and that we will press forward on local, state and national levels to ensure the dignity of every human being.
