Hi, my sister recommended this blog. I like what I see so far, but I will have to check back a few more times before I put it in my daily bloglist.

@jenny – Great questions! It is my understanding that the CLICK game is part of a larger longitudinal study that is still in progress (I believe it is a 10 year study). The game will probably not be made available until after all findings have been published. It’s unfortunate that many games involved in research studies never actually make it to the public, but perhaps this will be an exception. I suggest contacting Dr. Ross Shegog at the Univ of Texas Health Science Center who led game production.

As far as other HIV games, please visit our health games page, scroll towards the bottom and look under under Healthy Relationships / HIV: http://www.healthgamers.com/health-games/. You will find several links to games there like Pamoja Mtaani and Adventures in Sex City that might suit your needs.

Does anyone know whether the CLICK game is now available to the public? If so, do you know where I can access a copy.

Also, are there any other HIV/AIDS education games you could recommend?

Thanks.

HIV is a disease that is still incurable today. We should always practice safe sex and also educate our people how to avoid the spread of this disease.

Thanks everyone for your comments! Yes we definitely need to continually looking for better treatment but like many of you already mentioned – safe sex is at the top of the list regarding prevention.

We’re hoping that interactive media such as this game can help educate each generation on the importance of making smart decisions.

HIV / AIDS is one hell of a scary disease. we still do not have a cure nor a vaccine for it, so always practice safe sex.
