Lifebeat, Music Fights HIV/AIDS, has united a coalition of media and entertainment partners to launch the #MusicFightsAIDS campaign in honor of World AIDS Day on December 1st. From November 24th – December 1st, major media outlets, celebrities, music distributors and music venues will leverage their reach and unique platforms to draw urgent attention to the dramatic rise in HIV infections among young people ages 13-24.
The #MusicFightsAIDS campaign features a new series of PSAs recorded by superstar DJs A-Trak, Dirty South, Fedde Le Grand, 3LAU, and The Chainsmokers. These PSAs will help amplify awareness among young, millennial music fans and will be featured on mtvU, Spotify and other partner sites.

World AIDS Day remembers the 32 million people who have died, and the 34 million people currently living with HIV/AIDS. World AIDS Day started in 1988 and was the first designated global health day. Lifebeat continues to be a leading advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention and safety. Donations made here will support Lifebeat’s youth HIV Prevention programs, and Hearts & Voices music performances for people living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
“This is a wakeup call to everyone in America – especially our young people. HIV & AIDS are still with us and #MusicFightsAIDS is Lifebeat’s loudspeaker to continue our education & prevention mission about HIV, testing, and safe sex,” adds Nick Cucci, Executive Director of Lifebeat.
