Local MAC Girls Come to VisitMAC Girls Visit MCRH

The Memphis Center for Reproductive Health was thrilled to receive a second year of funding from the MAC AIDS Fund last month, and lucky enough to have our grant check delivered in person by the fabulous MAC girls from the MidSouth region!

 

Our project, Parallel Paths / Caminos Paralelos, will provide training and networking opportunities to local reproductive health and HIV/AIDS service providers, and will allow us to provide free rapid HIV testing and education to over 3,000 women in our clinic this year.

 

Every cent of the $14.50 selling price of a VIVA GLAM lipstick or lipglass is donated to the MAC AIDS Fund to support men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS.So what can $14.50 buy?  For our project, your lovely new lipstick would provide:

  • 1 rapid HIV test and a 20 minutes of individual HIV prevention counseling
  • 1 hour of group HIV prevention education for 10 women
  • 1 hour of group reproductive health education for 10 HIV positive women
  • 250 male condoms
  • 15 female condoms
  • 15 minutes of individual HIV prevention and reproductive health counseling with a medical practitioner
  • 30 minutes of training for 20+ medical providers on integrating HIV prevention and reproductive health

Go hit a MACY's on your lunch hour and buy a couple of VIVA GLAM lipsticks from one of our awesome local MAC girls!

Take the "National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy Quiz" at StayTeen.org and find out.

 

Throughout the month of May - teens nationwide are asked to log on and participate in several online activities, including the popular National Day Quiz. This short, scenario-based quiz asks teens to think about what they would do in a number of risky sexual situations and sends the straightforward message that sex has consequences.

 

This year's online National Day Quiz includes fun stop-motion animations to help illustrate the quiz's scenarios in a fun and engaging way for teens. Want a sneak peek? Check out the teaser video.
