The US government has teamed up with the video game company Virtual Heroes in developing a game that teaches young Kenyans how to avoid HIV.

…

As they progress through the game, they encounter situations that encourage them to use problem-solving skills, saving a happy ending for the people who succeed in making the right choices and beating the game.

The game is features a simulation of the slums and city centre of Nairobi, and is called Pamoja Mtaani, which means Together in the Hood.

University student Evelyne Mwandia said that the characters in the game teach her about HIV prevention, and how to protect herself by having one partner and using a condom.
