Black gay and bisexual men aged 15-29 are disproportionately represented among new cases of HIV in the USA. Researchers have argued that community-based prevention cannot succeed without the participation of faith-based organisations, particularly given the salience of religion and spirituality in the lives of young Black gay and bisexual men. Yet some Black churches may be hesitant to engage in HIV prevention efforts given their beliefs about same-sex behaviour. It is less clear, however, whether and how public health practitioners in the field of HIV prevention have approached church inclusion. We therefore explored how community stakeholders describe the involvement of Black churches with the HIV continuum of care. We draw on a qualitative dataset of 50 in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted in Detroit, USA. Participants offered multiple perspectives on the response of Black churches to the HIV epidemic, from overt stigma to gradual acceptance and action. Nevertheless, participants agreed that when stigma was present in the pews and the pulpit, young Black gay and bisexual men were at potential risk of social isolation. Furthermore, tensions may exist between Black churches and secular community-based organisations that are attributable to histories of mistrust. These findings have important implications for future community-based intervention strategies among young Black gay and bisexual men
