| Amid today’s widespread need for revitalization and recovery, a new generation of “real workers” has emerged, led by those who see challenges around them and are inspired to drive positive, meaningful change. Levi’s® is dedicated to nurture the pioneering spirit that has made the brand a global icon; in doing so we demonstrate our commitment to helping our new generation of real workers and leaders roll up their sleeves to make real change happen. One way we’re turning our energy into something tangible in South Africa is by engaging in meaningful conversations via the 2010 MTN Business Leading CEO Council with highly motivated current and future South African leaders on the topics of corporate social responsibility and impact. Together we’re proud to be standing shoulder to shoulder with the corporate social impact pioneers who will help to carve the way for a better tomorrow.

| In South Africa, HIV is commonly spread through sex. If you have unprotected sex (meaning without a condom unless you are 100% medically sure your partner is not infected) then you put yourself at risk. The more partners you do this with, the higher your risk. Recent research indicates that because the window period has significantly higher infection risk, having sex with two or more people within this 2-6 week period dramatically increases your chances of infection (and of infecting other if you become infected). So here's a tip: to decrease your risks, take a 6 week break between partners (and always use condoms!)
