Pre-Video Activities
Prepare

• Teach students the basics of HIV/AIDS
• Discuss the meaning and effects of stigma
• Discuss the meaning of mixed-status couples (a.k.a. serodiscordant/serodifferent couples)

Video #2:

• Teach the six body fluids that transmit HIV (blood, semen, pre-cum, vaginal fluid, breast milk, blood). Ask students if they’ve heard of Coachella.
• Ask them to share details of what they know (where it takes place, when, past celebrities who have performed, etc.). Find Internet images and small clips of Coachella to share with students so they understand this parody.
