MTV To Air HIV/AIDS Stories

MTV has always been on the cutting edge of HIV/AIDS education and a new show is coming soon, here’s some details about it.
Living with HIV, stigma, rape and high risk sexual behaviours are just some of the important topics covered in the second season of Shuga (Shuga: Love, Sex, Money), the new six-part drama series about sex-and-relationships amongst contemporary African youth.
Produced by MTV Networks Africa in association with The MTV Staying Alive Foundation, PEPFAR and the Partnership for an HIV-Free Generation (HFG) and the Government of Kenya, Shuga: Love, Sex, Money is part of a multimedia campaign conceived to spread the message about responsible sexual behaviour and tolerance. The initiative, which was warmly embraced by youth when Shuga first aired in 2009, is funded extensively by the U.S. Government through PEPFAR.
It might take place in Africa but the message is the same here in the US.
