Washington AIDS International Teens, abbreviated as WAIT, is a performing arts group created in Washington D.C. that has since spread all over the world. WAIT teaches about HIV/AIDS prevention through abstinence, which is refraining from sexual contact until marriage or lifetime partnership. They focus on peer-to-peer education, with WAIT team members being almost entirely between the ages of 13 to 20 utlilizing a message that focuses on teenagers. They incorporate Breakdancing, Dancing, Songs, Raps, Movies, and other types of multimedia depending on the talents of the team members into a performance that they perform for free at various schools, churchs, public events, etc. This performance is their main form of outreach, although they also have a educational powerpoint that they present at specific events and educational facilities, and they also occasionally go out and give pamphlets to people on the street.[1]
