In order to prevent and reduce the number of HIV infections among the population aged 15 to 24 years, a sector in which 45% of new cases of this disease are concentrated worldwide, the National Center for Prevention and Control of HIV-AIDS (CENSIDA), presented the campaign to Strengthen the National Response to HIV in young people, called "Football gives you a rematch, AIDS does not ”.

Carlos García de León Moreno, director of Prevention and Social Participation of CENSIDA, explained that this campaign, which starts on the Internet and in the coming days will be broadcast on television and radio, will be broadcast for four months.

"It's a starring spot by Manuel Negrete, former member of the Mexican soccer team that competed in Mexico 86 and scored a spectacular goal of scissors, an image that will be used to disseminate the information campaign," said León Moreno.

The head of the Censida, said that taking advantage of the start of the World Cup South Africa 2010, this campaign was designed to include the page www.revanchasida.mx, where young people will have the opportunity to follow all the results of this important football event at the same time have information about the importance of using a condom to prevent the spread of AIDS.

"With the slogan" Football gives you revenge, AIDS is not ", it seeks to convey that in life there are many opportunities and that there are many rematches to play, but not in the case of HIV / AIDS, because if we do not we always protect, we will not have the opportunity to play again, "said León Moreno.
