It's Your (Sex) Life Public Service Announcements (PSAs)

Each year, the Kaiser Family Foundation and MTV jointly produce new PSAs to reach MTV viewers. These messages seek to raise awareness about the risk of HIV/AIDS and other STDs, and reduce their spread by encouraging more informed decision making, communication, protection, and testing among those who are sexually active.

The campaign, which has been recognized with an Emmy for best National PSA in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2007 uses a variety of appeals and styles from upbeat and life-affirming to edgy and hard-hitting.

The ads are tagged with the campaign's toll-free hotline (1-877-777-ISYL) and website for viewers seeking additional information.

If you are having trouble viewing the videos, download the latest version of RealPlayer here.
