VJs Utt and Denise Say Yes! To Fighting HIV
By News Desk
Last year, over 2.5 million* people became infected with HIV, of whom nearly half are aged between 15 and 24 years old. There's no cure to HIV and you can't tell if someone has it. Most people look and feel fine for years after infection. Someone can spread it unknowingly. Your only protection is prevention. Always use a condom. It helps to protect you from HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

MTV and The Body Shop have come together to create a Limited Edition Tantalising Lip Butter to raise fund. Profit from sale of each Lip Butter goes to the Staying Alive Foundation**. The Foundation funding supports various grass root efforts that educate on HIV/AIDS and fight against social stigma.
