The purpose of “What Are We Living For” is to “Start the Conversation” about HIV — how to avoid it, how to live with it, how not to spread it, and the importance of being honest about one’s own risk of becoming infected. ARP has partnered with record producer Donald “XL” Robertson to use music, film, and the Internet to develop new and more effective ways to communicate prevention messages to those most at risk for becoming infected with HIV.
