The Ruth M. Rothstein Community Awareness Program (C.A.P.) is using Web 2.0 technology to showcase their work in the community and help raise awareness about HIV and other STIs.

The C.A.P. program provides free rapid HIV testing and health related community workshops throughout Chicago. This program is using Web 2.0 technology like Instagram and Twitter to promote community events and broadcast healthy messages regarding safe sex and accessing reproductive health services.

@corecentercap shows the world first hand what community based work looks like. The Instagram feed provides a colorful and proactive message of safe sex and self care to the receiver. These posts are continually shared throughout the social media networks, allowing the message to be received by an even bigger audience.
