'STIs are here, people get infected'- Dr Ronald E. Georges
The campaign, according to a press release from the Ministry of Health and Social Development, also aims to promote a message of social responsibility for the Emancipation Festival.
The ‘Wrap it Up’ campaign, Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronald E. Georges commented, is an expansion of what the ministry started last year to catch people’s attention about the consequences of high-risk sexual behaviours.
“STIs are here, people get infected, they are potentially very serious, but the key thing to note is that they are preventable and treatable,” Dr Georges said.
'Wrap it Up Before you Wuk it Up'
Dr Georges stressed that the best treatment for STIs is to never get them and so urges everyone to “Wrap it Up Before you Wuk it Up.”
The campaign therefore will address a wide cross-section of the community with key assertive graphics that target all persons, especially the younger population.
“We have to speak to our audience in a meaningful way. Those messages are speaking directly to our younger demographic and to an audience we think is especially at risk,” Dr Georges added.
In efforts to reach other sectors of the population during the campaign, mediums will be used to include other types of messaging and forums such as audio and video interviews, radio commercials, newsletters, and press releases.
The issues being addressed are drinking and driving, mixing medicines with alcohol, age of consent, issues around consent, and reducing highly risky sexual behaviours.
Meanwhile, some local laboratories have come on board with special promotions on STI testing for the community.
“The labs will be doing their independent advertising surrounding their promotions, but we do want persons to take advantage of the opportunity and get testing so that they can know the status of their sexual health,” Dr Georges advised.

These things been around for ages.
You wanna say now it’s becoming a Sex transdemic now ?
You are not encouraging abstaining from sex as the best defense, but use condoms. Do you really believe that anything will change to reverse or curb what people are accustom of doing. Of course you are concerned, but not enough. If you were concern enough, you would have spoken out against vulgar display of Jezebel (sexist) behaviours in our streets, especially at festival time. Moreover you would speak out against Striptease Clubs.
I hold nothing personal against you, my brother, but stop pretending that wild set habits are common in the B.V.II as they are worldwide.
Same for you women dont be quick to take that stick.
And always use rubber unless you are in serious relationship with each other health background.
Avoid the party girls festival girls club girls jueve girls if you can.
Same as men avoid the club man , party man , jueve man, man popular with females, scooter man lol, Kia soul Boyz lol.
But if you can't avoid them at least strap that Thang up and have fun time but keep it safe.
As for the gays out there sticking their rod in doo doo go seek God mehson
At the same time you telling gays go seek God but encouraging people who having sex outside of marriage to strap up, have fun, and keep it safe??!??!
You people like to choose which part of God’s Word to follow.
Fornication (includes having sex outside of marriage) is ALSO a sin!

Another song from the 90s said "Lifestyle, it can't stop no crab louse. Ramses, it can't stop no crab louse. Trojan, it can't stop no crab louse."
Listen to the old lyrics
The public needs to know if the aids virus was part of the contents in the covid-19 vaccines under some hidden name.When that information was being circulated, it was taken down for some strange reason. For those who were paying attention why is it that couple years after the covid-19 vaccine roll out that different countries started experiencing uptick in aids cases out of the blue? It is quite strange that all of a sudden many family and friends who took the covid vaccine just started looking sick and getting small. Many are talking about how things just dont feel right inside but try to keep it quiet. Why we have not heard any vaccine recall in the BVI but this has been taken place in different countries. Dr. Georges please answer. When there is a product recall in the supermarkets the Health Minitry is quick to respond to the public.
