The research investigated the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of faith-based pastors concerning the adoption of antiretroviral treatment (ART) for the Treat All strategy in Moshupa village, Botswana.

Pastors who granted consent completed questionnaires in their preferred language. Key findings indicated that most pastors were acquainted with the strategy. The study revealed that pastors actively encouraged congregants to undergo HIV testing and to start ART treatment if diagnosed positive. Pastors who previously advocated for discontinuing ART treatment shifted their stance and started endorsing governmental efforts to promote the Treat All strategy.

Health officials routinely equipped pastors in the district with health-related information during ministerial fraternal gatherings and kgotla meetings, with the expectation that the pastors disseminate this knowledge in their congregations.
