Do you know your HIV?
Queerty Reports:
"Filmmaker Eric Leven hit New Yorks streets to find out how much people know about HIV/AIDS, the plague he previously tackled in this startling PSA.
As for this video, its pretty surprising how little people know about the 25-year old retrovirus. Blogger Michael Crawfords exactly right when he writes, 'Erics video points out just how much work remains to be done in education Americans about HIV even in the city that has been hardest hit by the disease.'"
