Being informed is the first step to HIV/STD prevention

You Better Know This!, Talking the Talk, The Actors Guild, The WSTD Evening News. Who knew learning how to protect oneself from HIV/STD could be so much fun? Set in the studios of the WSTD television station, the CD-ROM includes a game show, talk show, newsroom, and actors guild. Players answer questions about STD symptoms and risk, watch actors rehearse upcoming productions on peer and societal pressures, create a news segment on HIV/STD, and interact with a guest as she shares her experience on The Trudy Danger Show. A glossary, references, and access to web materials complete the CD-ROM, and an extensive 60+ page teacher's guide is available.

WSTDtv has been well-received by adolescents, experts, and teachers and is presently in use in classrooms throughout the United States. It was awarded an All Star Award from Children's Software Revue, a Parent's Choice Award, a BESSIE Award, and honored by the Software & Information Industry Association..
