World AIDS Day
Since today is World AIDS Day, I thought I'd post this informative video about VIH/SIDA (in Spanish). Watch it to practice your listening comprehension, or just to learn. Side note-- where do you think the people in the video are from based on their accent? Do they use any regional vocabulary? You can also take this quiz (also in Spanish) about AIDS.

I've never been there, but I guess at either Mexico or Venezuela. My third choice is anywhere else in South America. If it's Spain I'm going to drown myself.

I'm pretty sure it's neither a Spanish nor Mexican accent. So I think you're safe. (stay away from the swimming pool)

It's an accent rather easy to identify once one has seen a few South American telenovelas...

Yes, it's true. And it's not from Spain. We don't say "ve" but "uve"

Nicely spoken Caribbean accented Spanish spoken by well-educated people. It could have been finely-spoken Barranquilla Colombia Spanish but the actors don't look Barranquillero. The end of the video gives it away.
The credits show it was filmed in Caracas (Venezuela)

When we spell VIH, we say "uve i hache", and they say "ve i hache".The name of the "v".
