Durex Rap against STD

Somehow I think it's still like a taboo to talk about sex in our society or even between the younger and older generation. It's a subject that no one will find it comfortable to openly discuss about it. So naturally, when it comes to Durex, a lot of people will think about sex. This campaign is not about encouraging people to have sex by highlighting the need to have safe sex but it's about creating the awareness of STD. Of course we cannot stop people from having sex but we can stop STD from being spread in delivering the message across the nation especially among the youth. Like the saying goes; prevention is better than cure! If you are given a chance to speak out and make a difference even though it's just baby steps, you should be proud of yourself. 

Most of these diseases are treatable, and many are curable – early detection and prevention is equally important.

Do you know?

• 6.5% of Malaysian teenagers were sexually active in 2010 compared with 2.2% in 2004.
• Adolescents' knowledge on reproductive health and sexually transmitted diseases are generally low, at between 47% and 59%. 

Thus, it is crucial for us to bring the attention of how dangerous STD can be and spread the awareness. We also have to think the consequences of having unprotected sex. STDs can increase the risk of HIV infection, infertility and cancer. Stigma, inconsistent or incorrect condom use, access to health care contributes to high rates of infections among teens and young adults.

All you have to do is just rap, just that easy! You don't have to be as awesome as Nicki Minaj or Kanye West to rap, you can just rap your own style :D and it could be just a 15 secs rap like how I did it. You can come out with your own lyrics (highly encouraged but they do have reference lyrics as well) as long as it's related to our awareness campaign and you know what? Your rap can even be in English, Malay or Chinese or even your own dialects! 1Malaysia spirit, y'know? Anyways, if you're too shy to rap alone you can drag along your friends and rap in a group.
