1.Respect yourself
2.Check yourself
3.Protect Yourself
I think the Aids/ STD issue is a growing crisis. We all fall victim of being scared to go get tested but it is crucial if decided to be sexually active. It is our responsibility to protect ourself no matter what is the circumstances. Here is a little bit of information about the movement:
"Respect Yourself, Check Yourself, Protect Yourself" (RCP)" was started November 2006, in South Florida (Broward County) to expose and highlight the crisis our generation is facing with the HIV/AIDS virus, particularly, black communities (*stats as shocking as 1 in 35 infected rate). After the "Silence is Death" report came down from Tallahassee in 2006, pointing out the high numbers of infected Blacks in Florida; some eyes opened up and hence the birth of RCP. RCP is a social marketing campaign created by Rize & Shine, Inc. a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that promotes, markets, and advertises public awareness of the risks associated with HIV/AIDS.
