AntiHIVirus

Published 06th June 2010 - 1 comments - 1995 views -

There are 33,400,000 people living with HIV/AIDS (5,700,000 are from South Africa). Altough 84 percent of young people believe the HIV and AIDS epidemic remains one of the great challenges of our time, almost 50 percent have a dangerously low knowledge about the killer virus.

Over a third don't think condoms are very effective in preventing sexual transmission and nearly a quarter admitted they would not always use a condom when having sex. This could explain why almost half of the world's new HIV infections occur among 15 to 24 year olds according to the latest UNAIDS statistics, largely as a result of unprotected sexual activity.

The Anti-HIVirus Campaign www.vir.us

Anti-HIV VIR.US campaign is a global initiative to support Standard Chartered Bank’s HIV education program.
Standard Chartered Bank’s HIV and AIDS preventative intervention focuses on education as a way of reducing the number of HIV infections. There is no cure thus, giving people the facts about HIV and AIDS enables them to make safe lifestyle choices, and also dispels the myths that drives stigma.

Their campaign is needed a video which spread the word, not HIV.

So... I made this one:

This is campaign for taking quiz. I'm 24 years old and still learning. At primary school we were told that the virus spreads through saliva. It's not true! An infected pregnant woman can protect unborn child from HIV. This is important information that we should know...
