This Valentine’s season, love takes on a new meaning as the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) rolls out a vibrant national outdoor advertising campaign promoting its LOVE condom brand. Coinciding with International Condom Day (ICD) on February 13, the initiative not only celebrates affection but also champions safe sexual practices.
Starting this week in Los Angeles and expanding to cities across the nation, the campaign emphasizes AHF’s mission to raise awareness about sexual health. Featured prominently in the ads is a striking image of two hands forming the popular heart shape, cradling a LOVE condom against the backdrop of a sunny blue sky. The image is designed to catch the eye and encourage discussions around safe sex, making it easy for viewers to access AHF’s resources through the provided URL: www.AHF.org.
“International Condom Day serves as a playful reminder that love and safety go hand in hand,” said AHF representatives. “Our goal is to normalize conversations about condom use and foster a culture of care, especially in cities like Miami where diverse communities come together.”
As one of the campaign’s launch cities, Miami stands out for its lively culture and vibrant nightlife, where conversations about sexual health are crucial. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirms the importance of these discussions, revealing that over 2.4 million STIs were reported in the U.S. in 2023 alone. While there are signs of improvement—such as a 7% decline in gonorrhea cases and a drop in primary and secondary syphilis among gay and bisexual men—AHF reminds the public that the fight against STIs is ongoing.
The LOVE condom campaign will be featured prominently on billboards, bus interiors, benches, posters, and transit shelters throughout Miami and 27 other cities nationwide, including Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Dallas, and San Francisco. AHF’s clinics and Wellness Centers offer free, nonjudgmental STI testing and treatment, serving as vital resources for those seeking information and assistance.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, let’s not just celebrate romance but also commit to responsible choices. With AHF’s LOVE condom campaign illuminating the streets of Miami, the message is clear: love yourself and your partner by prioritizing safe sex.
