MyVii Foundation Releases new STD awareness campaign “Spread the AFFECTION not the INFECTION”

TORONTO, March 26, 2018 -- MyVii Foundation (Non-Profit) On February 13^th of this year, Maren Melnick discovered that several of her friends were recently diagnosed with an STD. That same day she learned that Feb 13^th is also considered International Condom Day. Motivated by this coincidence and distressed by the record high rates of STIs, Maren asks; “Can we do something to help? YES we can. As a woman, I know I can. I buy my own condoms and I make sure my partner puts it on. Now, I want to help others make that decision too.”

Spread the AFFECTION not the INFECTION

About MyVii Foundation: Maren created MyVii in response to the skyrocketing rates of STDs. A Fundrazr (crowdsourcing site) page was created to raise funds for Maren’s campaign to promote Safe Sex Awareness in fun and creative ways while encouraging people to use condoms. A T-Shirt, she designed, available on the Fundrazr page, is modelled by Maren in a few sexually suggestive poses. She is calling for others to post their sexy pics to social media, support the campaign and use the Hashtag:

                                          #wantmyVwrapyourD

“# want my V wrap your D is a challenge to empower women to protect themselves and their partners from Sexually Transmitted Diseases”
