The tht spin chief says rightly that many young gay men leave school wivout the hiv facts, but that includes the facts of what hiv is and why it has to be avoided. they are not getting the info from anywhere else are they...... If they cannot get the truth from hiv campains, where are they going to get it from...... This ad does not tell them why hiv is any different to siphilis or even crabs only how to try to avoid it - and we now know from a new street pole that half of young men think there is no difference in the 2. This ad is worth less when not put into a context in which young gay men are compelld to take notice. why are they not bein told the facts of hiv? Any wonder they do not take hiv seriously any more........ I agree entirely wiv William.

Your cunning and guile know no bounds... …And presuming that this ad is to be aimed at the clubbing subset of hot, young 20/30-somethings in periodicals such as QX and Boyz, well-done THT for again bringing “fisting” and “sex toys” into mainstream gay clubbing culture.

This campaign only gives tips on how to avoid HIV, not why it must be avoided, and therefore is no different to any campaign there has ever been telling young men to avoid syphilis, herpes, etc etc. Our job now is to question these campaigns each time they appear, and that applies to editors and publishers of web sites and magazines to whom promotional materials are sent to. Yet again the THT skirts around the consequences of HIV prevention. Another waste of scant public funds, and another nail in its coffin.
