And just like that…it was QUICK.

Oraquick, that is. Singing sensations Tomás Matos, Lagoona Bloo, Peppermint and Julian Burzynski lent some serious vocal chops, sequins and signature dance moves for the at-home HIV self-test brand’s latest video campaign, directed and choreographed by Nick Laughlin, with music by Nick Laughlin and Andrew Barret Cox.

The results?

Sickening with a capital “S.”

In case you may have missed it, the foursome got in the groove with the doctor-approved brand, showing how easy (and essential) it is to self-test.
