I blogged about equity for HIV+ patients in addiction treatment centers, which is my own angle on the subject. Just as the red ribbon took off, I think that social media news can, too…with the right features. I’d suggest that you look into new, interesting PSAs and create a YouTube channel. Make them hot, funny, and memorable. Get the issue back into people’s minds.

We could use it to let people know the American College of Physicians (ACP) guideline that urges a routinely HIV screening for all patients 13 years and older.
This new guideline, released on World AIDS Day, says doctors should offer initial screening to all patients and should determine the need for repeat screening intervals on a case-by-case basis.
ACP also provides a list of high-risk patients. See more

Very important issue. I think you need to be everywhere young people are. Establish a presence on all the social media you can find. Publish new HIV/AIDS information on a regular basis. Provide links and numbers to AIDS hotlines, Show videos and interviews on YouTube of patients, doctors, researchers, social workers and anyone else willing to talk about the problem. Embed these videos in all your social media sites – MySpace, Facebook, HubPages, Squidoo, etc. Bookmark the videos on sites like Delicious, Digg, Propeller, Technorati, Furl, Slashdot, Reddit, Boing Boing.
Also register this blog with all of the blog indexing services you can find. Essentially, you want an online presence everywhere young people like to hang out.
Hope this helps.
