Abstract: Laguna Hills, Ca.--Advantage Life Products Inc. of Laguna Hills, Ca., said Wednesday that it will provide its BE SAFE program free of charge to separate high-school assemblies in Portland, Ore., and Atlanta, Ga., as part of its continuing partnership with Nestle Corp. The two companies are working together to bring necessary information about HIV and AIDS to students. Advantage's education program encourages AIDS awareness and prevention through the distribution of BE SAFE, the company's book and audio cassette program, at school assemblies. The assemblies involve students, professional athletes, and medical experts who discuss the implications of HIV in the 1990s. The BE SAFE program aims to enable parents, teens, and couples to freely communicate the facts about HIV infection and help establish strong communication skills and self-esteem to prevent the spread of the virus. Among those attending some of the assemblies will be National Basketball Association stars, including Kiki Vandeweghe, Clyde Drexler and Dominique Wilkins. The Johns Hopkins School of Public Health will receive a portion of the proceeds from BE SAFE for its continuing HIV education and research efforts.
