Muriel Vasconcellos Mar 27, 2016:
"espacios" Definitely "espacios" in this context is abstract, not physical, spaces. I see it often in my work with international organizations. I translate it in a variety of ways depending on the context - for example, 'windows', 'forums/fora', 'space' [singular], 'opportunities' (sometimes, but not here). It's always a problem because it can mean so many different things.

@ Manuel Wait for other opinions, I may be completely wrong :-/. it is Saturday night/Sunday morning right now so you will get more answers in a few hours...

I still think that they are using espacios (to sound fancy) for programas. Replace espacios with programas and you will see that it makes sense.

- Líderes religiosos se integran a otros PROGRAMAS de prevención de VIH fuera de las Iglesias

examples:
Programas Nacionales contra el SIDA

Programa de prevención y control del SIDA en Navarra

Additional context:
- Líderes que desde sus iglesias incluyen en sus espacios los temas de prevención del VIH y SIDA.

- Líderes religiosos se integran a otros espacios de prevención de VIH fuera de las iglesias.

Then I think that they may be literally referring to "spaces" in terms of physical space. Don't you think so as well?
Manuel Aburto (asker) Mar 27, 2016:
My try considering the context:

Church leaders who, from their churches, address the issue of HIV/AIDS prevention.

BTW, thank you so much for your suggestions Lorena an David!
David Hollywood Mar 27, 2016:
I tend to agree with Lorena here so might be "spots"/"messages"

@ Manuel I believe that here espacio is the same as programa. Usually espacio is used when talking about radio and TV but...

that include [HIV/AIDS prevention] among their areas of concern

You might even skip the problem of "espacios" and say:

'that are concerned with HIV/AIDS prevention'
Peer comment(s):

agree Robert Carter : "That are concerned with" is good.

Spanish term (edited): espacio

opportunity

en sus espacios
-->
when(ever) they get the opportunity

Looking at the various (and diverse) examples given by Manuel, I think "espacios" refers generically to "opportunities" the church leaders have to speak about HIV/AIDS.
Those "opportunities" might be sermons delivered from the pulpit, interviews with the press, participation in conferences, seminars, etc. These "espacios/opportunities" are exploited to "spread the word".
Peer comment(s):

agree Robert Carter : It's broad enough to cover what "espacios" might include, so I'd be happy with this.

who take time to talk about

Taking a cue from the other two options so far, you might go for something such as:

"Leaders who, as part of their role in the church, take time to talk about STDs, HIV and AIDS"

17 hrs

who see their remit as including/covering

These would be church leaders who see their remit as including the physical as well as spiritual health of their congregations.
Example sentence:

In Latin America the remit of pastoral practice includes violence, the family, and sexual health.
