The Anti Retroviral Man Cartoon

Art4art has created a cartoon around the idea of a superhero who champions antiretroviral treatment. Our aim is to target this cartoon at children from the age of 6 to 18. The cartoon will be used as a vehicle for AIDS related messages. Children will easily pick up the message of how anti retroviral treatment not only makes you healthy but also can make you into a superhero. Cartoons can be an useful and effective tool in the prevention of HIV infection. Many AIDS related issues can be addressed in a effective way by AntiRetroviral Man.
