SUNY Downstate Medical Center
in Partnership with
Boys and Girls High School,
Bedford-Stuyvesant YMCA
and the Stay Strong Foundation
Presents..........
Live STRAIGHT UP HEALTHY!
6th Annual Dine & Learn Healthy Youth Symposium
For the past six years, SUNY Downstate Medical Center has been successfully organizing Dine & Learn Healthy Youth Symposiums, under the Offices of Program Development and Physician Outreach. Our symposiums annually draw over 600 youth between the ages of 13-21 from Central Brooklyn and beyond. As the borough’s only academic medical center, we fully understand that there are no shortcuts when it comes to stopping the spread of HIV and other diseases. It is clear that we must take action--together. With the support of our community partners, we have embarked on this challenge of preventing disease in youth and promoting health during these crucial years.

HIV/AIDS Awareness/Prevention Fashiow Show and Exclusive 2011 Prom Collection
Choose Fashion to Live For……Condoms are Fashion For Life!
For the past three years, we have used symbolism to raise HIV/AIDS awareness and stressed the importance delaying sexual activity or engaging in safer sex practices. We strongly believe that the fashion industry can help re-define the image of condoms by breaking taboos that make teens see the use of condoms as an act of mistrust, promiscuity instead of a gesture of love – the latest in protection gear. This year we worked with Nippy Lavern Fashions, LLC to create outfits that promote safe sex practices. The goal is to make safer sex education fashionable and fun.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxcKB_JtfPo (check out 2008 HIV/AIDS Awareness/Prevention Fashion Show) Don't Rip the Runway
