TeachAIDS, a nonprofit social
venture originating from Stanford University, will create a customized version
of its HIV education software for Assam, a state in northeastern India, in
cooperation with Assam’s government. Global health leader Cigna is supporting
the project with a $200,000 investment.
The investment will also support the
development of regionally-customized TeachAIDS software for Karnataka, a state
in southwestern India. These regional versions will supplement other earlier
versions launched in the Telugu and English languages featuring the voices of
popular Bollywood stars. India has the third-highest number of HIV-infected
people in the world, after South Africa and Nigeria.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
