Many of us are aware of the dangers of HIV/AIDS. Some of us know that we can get it thorugh sexual intercourse. And we know just that much.Â
One reason for this is that many of us find it very tiresome (for others, fearsome) to read about the dangers of having casual sexual encounters, or even sexual activities with the ones we “love.” We can reason out that there’s just too much information and too little time to read all of them.
Well, now there’s an altenative. If you’re too lazy to read about HIV/AIDS, the British Broadcasting Company has a solution for you: GI Jonny.
G.I. Jonny is a viral information campaign produced by the BBC to raise awareness about HIV in the UK.
The campaign runs from 1 October until World AIDS Day on 1 December 2007.
The aim is to empower teenagers and young people with the facts about HIV and encourage them to protect each other from infection by sharing this information.
You can support the campaign in a number of different ways. Customise your own G.I. Jonny action figure here on the campaign website, download the G.I. Jonny Facebook application or attend an awareness event in your town or at your college or university. However you choose to get involved with G.I. Jonny, we want you to inform yourself with vital HIV facts and protect your friends by passing this information on.
So what are you waiting for? Head on to the GI Jonny Website and start having fun while learning about HIV/AIDS. Be Not Afraid!
