The Best OfThe Naked #WeAreAllClean Hashtag

<p>With World's AIDs Day around the corner and new HIV infections on the increase a new hashtag campaign hoping rival the Ice Bucket Challenge craze is underway, started by the very sexy Jack Mackenroth.</p> <p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4616409887.png" width="460" height="464" alt="" title=""/></p> <p>Jack has started an online campaign along with Moovz, encouraging other people to take sexy shower pics and then post them using the hashtag #weareALLclean.</p><p></p><p>It is hoped that the viral campaign will raise awareness surrounding HIV but also to raise money for <a href="http://fundraising.housingworks.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.personalCampaign&participantID=1850">Housing Works</a>, a New York-based nonprofit organisation fighting on the front lines to end AIDS and homelessness, not just in New York but globally by 2030.</p><p></p><p>Some have decried that the hashtag is offensive to those living with HIV, but the Jack says, 'I was inspired by the use of the word "clean", especially common in gay culture, to describe oneself as STI/STD free. Indirectly this implies that HIV-positive people are somehow "dirty'',</p><p></p><p>'I thought a PG or PG-13 shower selfie or Vine video would be a fun way that everyone could easily show their support on social media for finding a cure by using the hashtag #weareALLclean when they post their photo with the link. They then nominate 3 other people to participate and hopefully donate to the project as well.'</p><p></p><p>Here's a few of our favourites to get you up this morning.</p> <p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p></p><p>RELATED STORIES:</p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/Better-Than-A-Banksy-If-You-Find-It-You-Can-Sell-It/9100278?utm_content=bufferbaa7e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer">Better than a Banksy?
