HIV prevention revolution

UNAIDS have just launched a social media initiative to revitalize interest in HIV Prevention as every day more than 7000 people are newly infected with HIV worldwide.


Their aim is to inspire and encourage people using social media to know more about preventing HIV in the lead up to World AIDS Day.


Starting October 26 for six consecutive Tuesdays UNAIDS will introduce different themes related to HIV prevention via discussions on facebook, twitter, and AIDSspace.


What are the themes?

Week 1: Why do we need a PreventionRevolution? ● Week 2: Condoms ● Week 3: HIV testing ● Week 4: Knowledge and HIV ● Week 5: Gender Equality and Human Rights ● Week 6: Join the PreventionRevolution!

Each week there will be a different animated film, quizzes and polls as conversation starters. Follow this link to see the first film: http://bit.ly/aWYxoJ
