Internet Sexuality Information Services (ISIS) Exposes Ideas for Preventing HIV and other STDs with an Underwear Design Contest: Brickfish User-Ge

SAN DIEGO (Business Wire EON) April 14, 2008 -- With recent statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that one in four female adolescents in the U.S. have a sexually transmitted disease, this timely contest tackles this public health issue head-on. "Talking about HIV and STDs is uncomfortable, especially in the heat of the moment, so we are excited at this opportunity to create a forum for bringing prevention to the forefront," said Deb Levine, executive director of ISIS. "The 'In Brief: What if Ur Undies Had the Last Word' campaign is designed to help sexually active people (and those thinking about having sex) communicate about the risks before they take their clothes off. We are confident the awareness raised by this campaign will encourage people to talk about their sexual health before they are in a risky situation."

In addition to the grand prize winner, an ISIS expert panel of judges will award a $250 scholarship (or cash equivalent) for their favorite entry chosen from the top 100 generating the most buzz across the Internet. All people who vote or review in the contest will be eligible to win another $250 scholarship or cash equivalent awarded at the end of the contest as well.

The Brickfish marketing platform provides a forum to raise awareness of social issues through User-Generated Content (UGC). Brands, agencies and non-profit organizations use Brickfish's patent-pending platform to launch online advertising and marketing campaigns that spark the creation of brand-focused UGC, such as blogs, images, video and audio. Brickfish's content sharing tools enable anyone to view and review submissions, vote on their favorites, and share them with friends and peers through email, Instant Message and by posting on social networking sites, creating a powerful viral conversation that spans the Internet.

"The most important step to initiate positive change with societal issues is to get people talking and sharing," said Hyder Rabbani, vice president, sales and business development for Brickfish. "The 'In Brief: What if Ur Undies Had the Last Word' campaign will help enlighten people about the dangers of unprotected sex and introduce steps they can take to protect their sexual health. We are excited about the opportunity to work with ISIS and leverage the power of social media sites to promote a critical message. We are confident this campaign will be a vital and fun way to increase awareness about STDs, HIV and unplanned pregnancy."

The "In Brief: What if Ur Undies Had the Last Word" campaign ends May 15. For campaign rules and regulations, visit www.undiescontest.com. For more information about Brickfish, visit www.Brickfish.com, and for information about ISIS, visit www.isis-inc.org.
