Women'sNet Looking for S. African HIV and AIDS Initiatives Using ICTs
************

Dear members,

Women'sNet and Cell-Life are partners in a global study about how social 
networking* technology has changed and will change the way people 
communicate about issues and behaviours that impact on HIV vulnerability.

We are examining initiatives in South Africa that use social networks - 
mobile or online- that deal in part or in whole, with HIV and AIDS.

If you would like to tell us about your initiatives - and they need not be 
formal or large scale or even organizationally based- we would like to hear 
about them!

Please send an email to Sally-Jean Shackleton (sallys@womensnet.org.za) by 
February 2, 2009, to be included in the research.

* we use social networking as shorthand for communications between groups of 
people mediated by digital technologies. This mediation often takes place in 
online social networking platforms such as /Facebook/, accessed via 
computers or, increasingly, mobile phones.

Thank you
The Women'sNet Team and Cell-Life
