FACES NY Inc. and Bleu Magazine in collaboration with the High School of Graphic Communications Arts were honored to present the award of excellence to high school senior Carlos Taveras for his design for the 1st Annual World AIDS Day Poster Contest.
With “Keep The Promise” the message is to remind local and national government officials of the commitment to provide funding that will help stem the growing waves of new HIV infections and provide QUALITY health care for those already infected.
Students were asked to create a poster that would relay the message to our society, our government and ourselves. The research and images put into this project encourages all participants to communicate with each other, discuss the issues and provide opportunities to for decision when it comes to HIV/AIDS. “My first concept was children in Rwanda, Africa affected by HIV but my teacher advised me to broaden my scope, HIV/AIDS is a World problem” said Carlos. Young people in the United States are at persistent risk for HIV infection. This risk is especially notable for youth of minority races and ethnicities. Continual HIV prevention outreach and education efforts, including programs on abstinence and on delaying the initiation of sex, are required as new generations replace the generations that benefited from earlier prevention strategies.
