Fans of the MTV Staying Alive Facebook Fanpage will be no strangers to giving us your opinions on issues related to HIV – through our daily debates in our status updates.

But check out what happened when our street team hit up Oxford Street, London, England to find out just how much the unsuspecting public knew about HIV.

We asked them if they could name three ways in which HIV can be transmitted, at what point in a relationship they feel they have the right to know a potential partner’s status and lastly, whether they know their own HIV status. Needless to say we got some very interesting responses.

Previously our street team have conducted vox pops in New York about whether carrying condoms made girls look ‘easy’ – you can check out what the people of Union Square, NYC had to say here.

What did you think of the answers? How do you think the opinions would differ in your country? And what issue would you like to see discussed in the next one?
