I wrote a sociology essay a few years back on the different types of Sesame Streets around the world. The South African one has had the HIV girl for a little while now. In Egypt they focus on female characters and female rights, in the Israel/Palestine area they have had two streets that meet at a point. I like that they look at the world and adapt to it rather than thinking everyone is American.

In the areas where the kids will be watching the HIV character HIV is something they have all around them anyway and many of them might have it too.
