[Air-L] New Issue of Digital Culture & Education - special community issue: Building the HIVe

[Tom Apperley]

Dear colleagues,


This special community issue of the open-access journal *Digital Culture &
Education* may be of interest to the list.


>From the introduction (By Singh & Walsh):


The HIVe is a dynamic model that stimulates ongoing systems-wide strategic
> collaboration among HIV education, research, policy and practice sectors. The
> HIVe <http://www.hiv-e.org/> is an open source universal access research
> and education community that continuously grows by sharing effective
> digital community-based and led HIV prevention and care interventions for
> gay men, other men that have sex with men (MSM) and transgender
> communities. The model’s design understands digitally mediated and driven
> sexual behaviours pose unforeseen challenges for traditional HIV
> prevention. By sharing successful interventions, it hopes to inspire policy
> and practice change through community mobilisation by constructing assets
> and exchanging resources to challenge stigma and discrimination, and
> improve human rights with the aim of stopping new infections (Walsh &
> Singh, 2012).
