REAL WORLD'S DAVIS AND PARISA PARTNER WITH ONE ® CONDOMS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
PAIR TO ENDORSE ONE CONDOMS BRAND AND ONE VOICE FOUNDATION LIFEGUARD INITIATIVE ON SPEAKING TOUR
BOSTON - January 16, 2008 - The Real Worlds' James "Davis" Mallory and Parisa Montazaran have inked a deal to become spokespeople for ONE ® Condoms and the ONE ® Voice Foundation, Global Protection Corp. announced today.
Davis, the openly gay cast member from season 18 in Denver, and Parisa, from the current season 19 shot in Sydney will incorporate the message of smart sexual decisions during their Spring semester on-campus appearances nationally and tout the Company's ONE ® Condoms brand. The pair will also provide students with product samples, educational materials and collateral on the ONE ® Voice Foundation LifeGuard ® initiative.
"It is critical to perpetuate the message that we are not out of the woods with regards to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases," said Davis Mallory. "The fact that men and women under the age of 25 represent the largest population with new infections, is beyond frightening. Openly discussing smart sexual decisions and delivering this call to action for students to participate in the LifeGuard program on behalf of ONE ® Condoms is an honor," concluded Mallory.
"Nearly 1.5 million people in this country are living with HIV/AIDS and over 1 million are diagnosed every year with other STD's such as Syphilis and Chlamydia and these numbers are not declining, meaning people are still not using condoms when they are having sex," stated Parisa Montazaran. "It's mind-blowing in this day and age that people are still not paying attention. This is why I am so thrilled to be a part of the ONE ® Condoms campaign and the LifeGuard program, it's an opportunity to encourage my peers to be responsible!"
Davin Weddel, Founder and President of Global Protection Corp. supported Davis and Parisa with the following statement; "Having been committed to smart sexual health decisions for over 20 years, Global Protection Corp. is excited to partner with two well respected, responsible, young adults to deliver our message of protection." Wedel continued, "If by partnering with Davis and Parisa, we can plant the seed of condom use and safe sex discussions on college campuses, we will be successful."
The Real World alums will be working with ONE ® Condoms on multiple appearances across the country and will be available for interviews.
