Fighting HIV is a lot like playing in a football match. In football, you have to understand the basics of the game, learn how you can beat the other team, work with other people to score a goal, and practice your skills so that you come out on top.

Preventing HIV requires the same things:

  • Understanding of the basics—what it is and how you can get it
  • How to beat it—by knowing how to protect yourself
  • Working with others—negotiating your relationships with others and making good choices even when they are difficult
  • Practicing—putting all of your knowledge to the test!

For the last twenty years, HIV has been a tough competitor, but it’s time for a rally from behind. As part of the F4 HIV-free generation, you can improve your football game and learn about how to lead a healthy life. By protecting yourself from HIV, you can make sure that you score lots of goals, on and off the field!
