Background Main stream churches in Uganda have been known to be at the fore front of extending medical services, particularly in the areas of HIV/AIDS. However, Pentecostal churches seem not to be following suit, given their belief in miraculously healing by God. The aim of this study was to; - Investigate the occurrence and management of HIV/AIDS miraculous healing in the PentecostalsChurches. - Identify the challenges faced in quantifying AIDS/HIV miraculous healings in Pentecostal Churches. - Make suggestions for the best practices on AIDS/HIV management alongside the belief in miraculous healing. - Find out if there is complete healing of HIV/AIDS among believers

Methods Questionnaires, interviews and observation were used as instruments for data collection. Church leaders werepurposively sampled and convenience sampling among believers. It wasdiscovered that believers knew about HIV & medical interventions towards its management but needed better communication channels/models to bridge the awareness gap &change of attitude towards HIV miraculous healing to strengthenHIV patient management in Pentecostal churches.

Results The study showed that the application ofmedical based HIV prevention in Pentecostal churches was bedevilled by poor models of communication applied, lack of specific programs, inadequate finances,limited HIVawareness church based trainings,above of all the strong miraculous healing beliefs.

Conclusion It was recommended, that the application of approximate communication models be developed;Church leaders develop HIV preventionprograms in line with government policy; Churches engage Government and funderfor funding; and a creation of aliaison platform between Pentecostal and main stream churches for HIV program awareness. Attendee will realise that Pentecostal churches present a great potential for the management of HIV, and thus remain relevant, to advocate for change among believers attitudes towards miraculous healing and HIVprevention through applying reliable and effective communication models.
