Abstract: Some relationships between health and religion were studied through a critical examination of recent psychologicalliterature. Health, and its correlate disease, was considered as dependent on the immune system; religion was meant asa way of coping. Theoretical and empirical literature, especially Jenkins' research (1995) on the relation between religion andAIDS, were discussed. Some hints were drawn from the available literature, concerning personal and institutional religiouscoping for AIDS' patients.
