MTV VJ SWAY SAYS...
This competition is now closed… but while we have your attention…did you know:
- In 2007 half of all new HIV infections were among 15-24 year olds
- There are over 33 million people living with HIV around the world
- 90% of people with HIV don’t know they’re infected
So if you’re thinking about getting it on – be safe, use a condom! It’s the safest way to have sex…
This Time Will Be Different
Jimmy Jean Louis’ story centers on the less talked about story of gift-giving. In this Untold Story, we explore how nothing is for free, and all too often, there is a belief that if a man is giving a gift, be it money, jewellery, holidays, it’s always at a price. Best known for her strong female characters in her films, Ashley Judd brought the story to light, while you decided how it ends. Check out what everyone had to say…

Blood On His Fists
Blood On His Fists Acclaimed author Gautam Malkani introduces the link between violence and HIV/AIDS. In many places around the world, young women who are in abusive relationships are unable to determine, how, when and where to have sex, everything is in the hands of the abuser, including whether to use a condom or not. R’n’B / Hip Hop star T-Pain lends his name to bring this issue to light. Check out the responses…

You Only Live Once
One of the biggest myths relating to HIV/AIDS is that it’s just a problem in developing countries. Emma Gold gives a reality check with her story exploring how everyone can be at risk. Too often we don’t check our sexual behaviour because we think we’re safe, but how can you be sure? Music star and actress Solange Knowles gets on screen to share awareness of this issue.

1 Dec 2008 05:01El 1° DE DICIEMBRE se conmemora en todo el mundo el DIA DE LA LUCHA CONTRA EL VIH/SIDA.El día 1 de diciembre fue elegido debido a que el primer caso de SIDA fue diagnosticado en este día en 1981. Desde entonces, el SIDA ha matado más de 25 millones de personas en todo el mundo, haciéndola una de las epidemias más destructivas de la historia registrada. Para eso invito a todos a que ese día COLOQUEN EN LA FOTO DE PERFIL, LA IMAGEN DEL LAZO ROJO que simboliza el COMPROMISO con esa lucha, la RESPONSABILIDAD y la SOLIDARIDAD. |

18 Aug 2008 22:17me da mucho gusto saber que estan apoyando a las personas con VIH por que son personas que mayormente son tratadas de menos por su enfermedad pero son personas que necesitan un gran apoyo para vivis una vida como merecen vivir. DesdeRepublica Dominicana les doy mi apoyo espero que gracias a esto muchas personas reeconsideren a estas personas para que vivan en un mundo que los acepte tal y como son |

18 Aug 2008 01:41Pues nada que éste es el quinto intento para hacerles llegar el final de mi historia y recién me doy cuenta que tampoco voy a poder publicarla completa. lo intenté a través del blog, vía mensaje en myspace (dos veces), en el blog del director de sextumismo y ahora por éste medio.decidí que mi historia fuera la oportunidad de iniciar de cero, okay Jonás está infectado pero es motivo suficiente para dejar atrás los sueños ya la metas por cumplir? estoy convencido que no así que opté por brindarle a Jonás un lienzo en blanco para que lo pintara con el color de las posibilidades, él decidió enamorarse de nueva cuenta, pero esta vez con responsabilidad. y, como no podré publicarla les dejo mi link para que la lean en mi hi5, igual ya se las envíe por correo, sólo espero que ahora sí me hagan saber si la tomarán en cuenta para el concurso. saludotes muchos. http://viktorkamacho.hi5.com |
