Abstract: This program for teachers to use in the classroom to facilitate life skills, sexuality and HIV education. The video contains three interactive playlets (one act plays) designed to teach young men to show that they care about their partners and to take an active role in HIV/AIDS prevention. This initiative is different from other HIV/AIDS prevention programs that focus on women's empowerment to establish gender equality as a means of HIV/AIDS prevention.| (1) "Does 'No' Mean 'Yes'" is the story of Hazel and Sapho, a young adolescent couple. Sapho disregards his girlfriend's feelings and pressures her to have sex with him. When Hazel becomes pregnant and is forced to abandon her education, Sapho leaves her. This story is intended to teach men to listen to their partners instead of pressuring them into having sex.| (2) 'The Fourth Flag' is the story of Brazo, an adolescent male who is taking part in a traditional coming of age flag ceremony. Brazo aspires to be like his father who practiced polygamy. One of Brazo's peers argues that polygamy is an abuse of women's rights, and puts individuals at a higher risk of HIV transmission. This play examines the conflict between traditional and modern values, identifies positive cultural elements, and stresses the importance of HIV/AIDS prevention.| (3) 'Let's Compromise' is the story of Thembi and Phikinkani. Phikinkani pressures his girlfriend into having unprotected sex with him. When Thembi stresses the importance of condom use to prevent HIV transmission and unwanted pregnancy, Phikinkani responds by saying that he wants to have a baby before marriage so that he can be sure that Thembi is fertile, and that AIDS is not a concern because it can be cured by traditional healers. The play picks up a time later, when Phikinkani has learned that he is HIV positive. He calls on Gxagxa, a traditional healer, to treat him. Gxagxa admits that he cannot cure AIDS. This skit stresses the importance of condom use and defines some of the misconceptions surrounding HIV/AIDS. The performance ends with a segment in which young men reaffirm their promise to care for women and to take an active role in HIV prevention. The video concludes with an Epilogue in which audience members/participants comment on the messages presented in the playlets. less
