"Raising awareness about safe sex, HIV and AIDS is important. I recently wrote an article on this very issue; I was amazed at how often STIs and other diseases actually occur, not only in Australia, but all around the world. If we can warn and educate upcoming models about AIDS, then we're reaching out and informing many others as well. One person can contribute so much to the bigger picture and Models against AIDS are achieving just that – it’s an incredible feeling."
