Networks Joins the International Call to Stop the Spread of HIV on
World AIDS Day Monday, December 1 with a Special Episode of '106 &
PARK' Followed by BET News Exclusive 'ARE YOU POSITIVE?'
NEW YORK, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Of the more than one million people in the United States that are living with HIV/AIDS, nearly half are African American. On Monday, December 1st at 6:00 p.m.*,
World AIDS Day, BET shines a bright light on these alarming statistics
by dedicating a full episode of the network's hit music countdown show,
106 & PARK, to the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic, followed by the premiere of ARE YOU POSITIVE?, a half hour special that addresses the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS at 7:30 p.m.* ARE YOU POSITIVE? is
part of BET Networks and the Kaiser Family Foundation's longstanding
partnership and Emmy Award-winning public education campaign,
"Rap-It-Up".
In addition to being the most energetic music countdown show on the planet with exciting show elements and superstar guests, 106 & PARK
is also known for providing viewers with the latest news affecting the
urban community - and the topic of HIV/AIDS is no exception. During
this year's World AIDS Day, hosts Terrence and Rocsi, along with
surprise celebrity guests and HIV/AIDS experts will sound off about the
nation's leading killer of African Americans and encourage viewers to
know the facts and their status surrounding the deadly disease.
On Monday, December 1 at 7:30 p.m.*, ARE YOU POSITIVE?
profiles four young Americans - two of whom are living with HIV, two
who are not -- who open up their lives, sharing what they do for work
and fun, as well as their passions and dreams, to challenge the
stereotypes about who HIV affects. In the final act, the characters
reveal their status and talk, with inspiring openness, about how HIV
has affected each of their lives.
ARE YOU POSITIVE? is a production of BET News. Grant Clark serves as producer for the special with Russ Torres as supervising producer and Keith Brown as executive producer.
