Valentine's is known all over the world as a time to celebrate love, and it is expected that during that time sexual emotions run high by persons demonstrating their love for each other. To ensure that persons remained protected from sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV/AIDS during that evening both organizers found it fitting to hand out condoms and HIV/AIDS awareness information to all who partied.
Elektra told Suzette Moses-Burton, HIV/AIDS Programme Manager on her show on Monday morning that she wanted to contribute in some way to the [RED] Campaign; therefore she gave out the condoms and the information brochures.
Suzette Moses-Burton stated that, "It is private initiatives taken by individuals in our community that will continue to help us spread the information about HIV and eventually reduce the transmission of HIV.
The more familiar people become with the messages of safety as well as other information about HIV, the less frightening it will become. For us to truly win the battle against HIV, HIV MUST become part of our daily vocabulary and way if life, so that we can ensure brighter futures for all of us.
Fear of HIV has hurt us more than it has helped, it is time to get over that fear and face this challenge head on. I am hopeful that as the [RED] campaign and other initiatives under the AIDS programme continues that the responsible actions demonstrated by Elektra and Blaze will be shared and expressed by others in our community. We all have a role, no matter how large of small, to play in the fight against HIV."
