Ask For It http://www.askforitlb.com/long.html
The Ask For It campaign encourages HIV testing and other healthy activities for women in the greater
Long Beach, California area. The website features a PSA that motivates women to ask for a HIV test
and provides a wide array of local resources. Women in the US are increasingly affected by HIV/AIDS.
In the US 40,608 people have been infected and 27% are women (CDC). There are presently 463 women
aged 15-24 living with AIDS in California.
This site is an excellent example of centralizing information for a specific population in an engaging way.
On screen is a PSA video, a comprehensive list of testing sites, a blog, and more.
