'MTV' to stage music summit for HIV/AIDS campaign

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Spread the message, not the virus.
The message on HIV/AIDS awareness is going to be spread
through music, which has phenomenal power to move people and
speak to young people, according to TV channel MTV.

To commemorate World Aids Day, which fell on Dec. 1, MTV, in
cooperation with Fiesta Condom and the Commission for AIDS
Eradication (KPA) will stage MTV Staying Alive Music Summit 2005
on Dec. 10 at Gelanggang Soemantri Brodjonegoro, Kuningan, South
Jakarta.

Bands BIP, Gigi, Netral, Seurieus and Padi, as well as Shanty,
Superglad, La Nina and DJ Robot, are scheduled to perform at the
event, according to a press release.

The event will provide booths that disseminate information on
HIV/AIDS.

To obtain tickets, interested patrons should buy a copy of Hai
magazine (edition no. 47, 48 or 49), which contains a ticket to
the event.

In combination with Hai magazine and youth community
organization Dance 4 Life, MTV also organized an event titled MTV
Goes to School.

MTV visited three schools in Jakarta: Dwiwarna Boarding
School, SMA Al Azhar and SMA Bakti Mulia 400.

MTV Goes to School invited HIV/AIDS activist Baby Jim Aditya
to a discussion with young people on HIV/AIDS.
