The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan has determined that the issue of HIV/AIDS is a serious problem that cannot be overlooked and has worked on HIV/AIDS awareness-raising activities since 1995. This section which was previously a desk became independent from Caritas Japan in September 2010 and was renamed a section in February 2025. It provides Catholic churches and schools with the latest and most accurate information on HIV/AIDS, sex and human rights, and sex education, which are areas that people are increasingly losing interest in and tend to think of as something that doesn’t concern them.
(Bishop in Charge) Shinzo Moriyama
