Condom Dress? How Far Would You Go for Safe Sex

Would you wear a dress made out of condoms for your Quinceañera? Would you travel in a "Condomovil" to promote safe sex? MTV Latin America's special, Viralistas, which will be available to view online at adc.tr3s.com starting Friday, December 2nd, features safe sex advocates like Anna Tessi and Alejandro Estanislao who work to spread the message of safe sex and change the prejudices people living with HIV and AIDS face.

Ana's goal was to get as many eyes as humanely possible to see her dress and in effect encourage them to practice safe sex and use condoms every time they have intercourse. Ana Tessi has her dress exhibited at Gura Galeria, a popular gallery shop in Mexico. She got the attention of Autumn Society, a group of artists who are also advocates of sexual health and who created four inspirational paintings for the cause.

Ana also got to show off her dress at Quincefest, where she knew thousands of girls would be choosing dresses for their Quinceañera. The girls were surprised to see a dress made out of over a thousand condoms - 1,500 to be exact - but it was a great icebreaker to get them talking about their own sexual health and the importance of safe sex.

Viralistas also features an organization that aims to stop the prejudices of the LGBT community in Mexico, Didesex. Didesex allows anyone - heterosexuals, homosexuals, transsexuals - to compete on a soccer team in an effort to promote their sexual identity. They also offer free and confidential HIV testing for their members. Their goal is to prevent the spread of HIV and get people comfortable talking about their sexual identity.

Viralistas will be available on adc.tr3s.com starting tomorrow so be sure to check it out!
