Ministry of health launches prevention campaign aimed at young gays

The Ministry of Health is to be congratulated for its action in making a commercial about the use of condoms aimed at young people and especially homosexual citizens. The video is part of the “What is your attitude” campaign, starring Negra Li.

During the campaign, a young man is leaving home and his mother calls him and gives him a condom. His father reiterates the importance of taking a condom. “It’s son…better take it. You never know if your boyfriend will have one or not,” he says.

Posters and radio jingles are also part of the campaign. One of the posters, aimed at the gay public, shows a model holding a condom with the words "You have the right to like axé, rock, forró and another person of the same sex.
