HIV patients told by Pentecostal pastors 'to rely on God'

Quote:The Children's HIV Association surveyed 19 doctors and health professionals working with babies and children in England; its members had reported hearing anecdotal evidence of HIV patients deciding to stop taking their anti-retroviral drugs because their pastors had told them to do so.

Among 10 doctors who said they had encountered the problem in the last five years, 29 of their patients had reported being put under pressure to stop taking medicine and at least 11 had done so.

Only anecdotal so would need validation.

Did it work for any of them, or did you just assume it didn't?
