About IYSL

Since 1997, the Kaiser Family Foundation and MTV have partnered on an extensive, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning public information campaign on HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and related sexual health issues. The partnership includes targeted public service advertisements (PSAs), entertainment and other special programming, news segments, and free informational resources, including an extensive website (www.itsyoursexlife.com).

About This Site

Itsyoursexlife.com is the official website of MTV and the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Emmy Award winning It’s Your (Sex) Life public information campaign. Sex can be one of life’s most fulfilling experiences. But whether or not you’re sexually active, there is information you should have to help you set your own boundaries and make your own choices about sexual activity. These days, what you don’t know about sex can hurt you, so you’ll want to get the facts – and fast. Whether or not you’re currently having sex with someone, you probably have lots of questions about how to protect yourself and your partner. Fortunately, IYSL has some answers. Here you will find reliable information about decision making, how to talking openly with your partner, how to prevent unintended pregnancy, and how to stay healthy by using protection and getting tested regularly for HIV and other STDs.

In addition to making use of our free informational resources, we hope that you will watch and share our campaign’s entertainment and other special programming. Making smart decisions is easier than you might think – all it takes is a little foresight and planning before you are in the heat of the moment. Remember that having sex is a choice (not just the first time, but every time) and your decision is your own.
