Fingerpaint Partners with Alliance for Positive Health for Valentine’s Day E-Cards
Fingerpaint, in Partnership with The Alliance for Positive Health, Urges Americans to Protect Themselves Against Sexually Transmitted Infections with Eye-Catching Valentine’s Day E-Cards
In an effort to spread protection, not infection, the initiative promotes awareness on the side effects of sexually transmitted infections
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Today, Fingerpaint, a national full-service health and wellness marketing agency, in partnership with The Alliance for Positive Health, launched a provocative campaign aimed at bringing awareness to the alarming increase of sexually transmitted infections across the country. The campaign, “Protect Valentine’s Day,” features sharable, thought-provoking e-cards that bring-to-light the side effects of the most common STIs, and encourages people to know their status by getting tested.
The campaign is launching during a holiday when millions of people are already thinking about sex. The cards feature greetings such as, “You’re the genital itch, I just can’t scratch” and “This Valentine’s Day, I am so grateful that I share your friendship and not your syphilis.”
Fingerpaint partnered with The Alliance for Positive Health, an organization that works to reduce the impact and incidence of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases, as part of a pro-bono initiative based off the findings that STI rates are hitting an all-time high in the United States. Last year it was reported that there were 2.4 million cases of syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia in 2018.
“Valentine’s Day is an appropriate time to remind people about the importance of taking responsibility for their sexual health,” said Ed Mitzen, founder of Fingerpaint. “Our team developed this campaign with the hope that we can bring awareness and accountably to the topic in a creative way.”
“Many people may not know they have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) because they may not have any symptoms,” said Bill Faragon, Executive Director of Alliance for Positive Health. “The only way to know if you have an STI is to get tested.”
