25 years after the first documented case of AIDS, MTV and the Kaiser Family Foundation have come together to create think HIV, a vibrant platform that serves to educate about, spark discussion on and lead to action around the impact HIV/AIDS has had on young people.
The think HIV Online Community – think HIV online serves as an interactive community. The site is an engaging and interactive, safe space for young people to share their personal stories through videos and text about HIV/AIDS. This site also provides easy access to information and resources about HIV/AIDS including prevention and testing as well as how to get involved in the global fight – including access to health information, resources and the online community at WebMD. Visitors are able to upload their videos to the site via software from iFilm. The Alive at 25 HIV Vlogging Competition winners are featured on the site with official state information about HIV/AIDS, links to local services, and key resources for young people developed in partnership with NASTAD members.
think: Sexual health is part of think MTV (www.think.mtv.com) - a vibrant community where young people get informed, connect to each other, express themselves and take action on the issues important to them, their community and their world. With the credo “Reflect. Decide. Do.” think MTV, in partnership with almost 40 national and international organizations, enables young people to get involved in important domestic and international issues – such as education, sexual health, discrimination, the environment & natural disasters, and global affairs – through long-form documentaries, public service announcements, news segments, think moments, a comprehensive website and interactive forum at think.mtv.com, emerging media platforms, speaking engagements, and grassroots activities, materials and issue guides.
The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation is a non-profit, private operating foundation dedicated to providing information and analysis on health issues to policymakers, the media, and the general public. It is not associated with Kaiser Permanente or Kaiser Industries. Information on HIV/AIDS is available at www.kff.org, and a daily news summary report on developments in HIV/AIDS is available on www.kaisernetwork.org, the Foundation’s free health information service.
