Pia Wurtzbach asks for helping hands to raise HIV awareness


Reigning Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach posted a video on Instagram calling out all her fans to help raise HIV awareness on December 1, World Aids Day.

"HIV infections are rising in many parts of the world and I'm calling out on you to help us spread awareness and help us stay on the fast track in ending this epidemic," Wurtzbach says.

It's a simple act anyone can do. All you need are a pen or marker and a helping hand!

 

"All you have to do is take a photo of a word or short phrase written on your hand, words like 'prep', 'safe sex', 'no violence', 'equal access', 'get tested' or 'know your status', words like that," said Wurtzbach.

She also urged viewers to add the hashtag #HIVprevention and to tag @MissUniverse.

Pia will be compiling all the photos posted on social media to make it into one video.

She will also post her own photo on December 1.

Everyone write on your hand, put your palms up, take a photo and post it to help Miss Universe with her advocacy. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/BM, GMA News
