Bill Clinton to Answer Your Questions About AIDS on MTV; What Would You Ask Him?

LOS ANGELES -- Ten years after playing the saxophone on MTV in a defining moment of his 1992 campaign for president, Bill Clinton is returning to the cable music channel to discuss the global AIDS epidemic.

Clinton will be one of several panelists taking questions from an audience of young adults from more than 25 countries during an hour-long program to be taped July 11 in Barcelona, Spain, the network, a unit of Viacom Inc., said on Wednesday.

The MTV special, titled Staying Alive: A Global Forum on HIV/AIDS, will be telecast starting July 12 on more than 30 MTV channels around the world.

The program will be moderated by MTV India host Cyrus Broacha. MTV programming currently reaches 382 million households in 165 countries.

The special is part of a new youth-oriented AIDS awareness campaign MTV is launching in conjunction with the Kaiser Family Foundation and Family Health International.

According to a United Nations report released this week, more than half of young people aged 15 to 24 have serious misconceptions about AIDS and the HIV virus, the same age group that accounts for half of all new HIV infections today.

Joining Clinton on the panel will be Peter Piot, head of the Joint UN Program on HIV/AIDS, Brazilian Health Ministry official Paulo Roberto Teixeira and Vicki Ehrich of British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline Plc.

The former president is an honorary co-chairman of the International AIDS Trust foundation, MTV spokeswoman AnneMarie Kane said.

Clinton first made a splash on MTV during his initial bid for the White House in 1992, appearing on a town hall-style special in which he played his saxophone and gamely answered questions about what sort of underwear he wore. He later credited the MTV appearance with helping energize young people about politics and went on to unseat Republican incumbent President George Bush in the general election. -- Reuters

Your questions are welcome. Go here to ask a question of any of the panel members.

The story above doesn't mention that appearing with Clinton in Barcelona will be Her Highness Rattana-Devi Norodom, the Princess of Cambodia. (Go to the Staying Alive web site for more info). The Princess seems to be just x42's type:

I'd ask, "Hey Scumbag! Why didn't you ever release your medical records? Do YOU have AIDS or any other STD?

I must admit, I already posted my question at the staying alive site. It was something along the lines of "Mr. Clinton, isn't the best way to avoid contracting AIDS not to emulate your promiscuous lifestyle?"

Thus demonstrating his maturity.
