Deciding to Practice Safe Sex
by Joel Fickes and Stacy Lewis

I decide to practice safe sex because my physical and cognitive health depends on it.

I decide to practice safe sex because I believe that my safety is important.

I decide to practice safe sex because it empowers me.

I decide to join a sorority that advocates for safe sex.

My sorority sisters and I decide to practice safe sex by promoting condom use.

I decide to ask my sorority sisters for support and guidance.

I believe that I can follow my decision to practice safe sex by believing in myself and gaining support from my sorority sisters.

Summary
I have made the decision to practice safe sex!
How about YOU?
Have you decided too?
