Australia: New South Wales Government Campaign Against Sexually Transmitted Disease

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

September 1, 2009

New South Wales has launched a new STD awareness campaign with a bold question: "How many people have you slept with?" NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said the theme of the outreach -- "sleeping with one is sleeping with many" -- is a call for young people to use condoms and get tested and treated for STDs. "Imagine all the people you've actually slept with," the Web site asks as vines spread rapidly across the screen. "Now imagine if one of them had a sexually transmissible disease." In addition to its online presence, the $1.5 million (US $1.3 million) program includes ads in print and on television. Last year, New South Wales recorded nearly 17,000 cases of STDs, including HIV.
