In cohesive RED looks, you are the living advertisement for prevention and protection. This is about education through fashion and performance—turning awareness into art. All members of the house must be in cohesive red (shades can vary, but it should read unified). Incorporate clear, bold prevention messages about Descovy, Apretude, Truvada, Doxy, PrEP, U=U, testing, and treatment. Think production value—poster boards, props, visuals, or slogans that could live on a billboard, PSA, or social media campaign. Be ready to present your message not just with your looks, but with movement, chants, or visuals that make the prevention message loud and clear. This is your chance to prove your house is not just fierce on the floor, but also a voice for the community’s health and survival.
