mtvU looking for people willing to talk about their HIV-positive status or how AIDS/HIV has affected them in some way: “MTV's college channel, mtvU, and the Kaiser Family Foundation have teamed up to develop an anti-stigma campaign in partnership with POZ Magazine.

We are seeking a diverse group of people willing to be featured online and perhaps on-air with their photo, their HIV status, and their story about why HIV is an important issue to them. If you are U.S.-based person, 18 years of age or over and would like to lend your face and story to this project, please contact noopur.agarwal@mtvstaff.com as soon as possible.
