The Manitoba First Nations HIV/AIDS Working Group (MFNAWG) is proud to announce the re-launch of their website. New features include five Public Service Announcements (PSA's) as developed by members of MFNAWG in Spring 2011, which promote the importance of getting tested for HIV. These PSA's can be viewed by clicking on the MEDIA section of the MFNAWG website and on YOU TUBE.

The link to MFNAWG's YOU TUBE Channel can be found within the MEDIA section. Help us get this important message out there and reduce rates of HIV infection by sharing these links with friends, family members and colleagues on both your facebook and twitter accounts!

This includes information on community events, where to get tested for HIV, fast facts, tips on nutrition and information on ordering free resources for your community.

The second edition of our newsletter will be available the 1st week of May, 2011 and includes exciting contests such as a Word Search and a Crossword Puzzle.
