"I Commit to Bring My Own Condom" -- S.O.S Health Summit

Intelligent, Beautiful, Energetic, Outgoing, Youthful, and HIV Positive
 
These words describe too many young women living in the Washington Metropolitan area. HIV is a PREVENTABLE disease and YOU have the power to protect yourself from becoming infected. In the Washington, DC Metropolitan area, young heterosexual women are the fastest growing population of newly diagnosed HIV cases. As young women, we have a RESPONSIBILITY to educate ourselves, our mothers, sisters, friends, daughters, partners, and significant others on how we can PROTECT ourselves from HIV infection. We are asking young women and girls, ages 13-29, to join Divas, MPH as we EDUCATE, EMPOWER, and MOBILIZE to Save Our Sisters from HIV/AIDS.
 
The S.O.S. Summit will include age appropriate workshops on HIV/AIDS 101, Assertiveness Skills, Negotiation Skills, and conclude with a Town Hall Meeting to address the issue of HIV/AIDS, its impact on women and girls, and what we can do as individuals and a community to reduce the number of new HIV infections in women and girls.
