'On April 15 in Washington, D.C, as she introduced EMPOWERED, her new campaign developed as part of the Greater Than AIDS initiative, recording artist Alicia Keys called on the women of America to use their power to help bring an end to AIDS.

“Women and girls have been affected by HIV since the start, but that impact has not been recognized,” Ms. Keys said. “And as the sisters, mothers, daughters, and caregivers, we are the backbones of families, communities, and entire societies. We will never see an AIDS-free generation without harnessing the power and strength of women.”

EMPOWERED is a new, national cross-platform HIV awareness campaign that includes TV, radio, and outdoor and print ads , in addition to digital content and social media. By joining with Greater Than AIDS, Alicia Keys is reaching women in the U.S. in everyday ways—on their computers, on their phones, at bus stops—to make everyday choices that can change the course of this epidemic.
...
Through dialogues about HIV, Alicia Keys CAN help to change the way America thinks about HIV/AIDS. We are EMPOWERED.'

... just that it doesn't actually mention or apparently tries to include the majority of HIV victims: homosexual men. See here. So I wonder, just what will this new program ("YAGPFW": Yet Another Government Program For Women) actually do? Try to spread this message: "HIV is bad. You will most likely contract it by having sex with a gay/bisexual male. Therefore, either abstain from having sex with them, or men generally, and/or always be sure to use a condom. And it never hurts to avoid hook-ups and/or insist on a blood test for STDs before having sex w/ someone. BTW, you can also catch it via lesbian sex, but it's not as likely. Spread the word."

Newsflash, government: This has been getting taught in schools now for decades and continues to be. What else are you going to do?
