Novel Vaccine Approach Offers Hope In Fight Against HIV

New Orleans HIV Awareness Billboards Sparking Controversy

A billboard campaign in New Orleans that seeks to raise awareness of HIV has sparked controversy as some residents consider the ads - which feature characters that represent specific sexually transmitted infections - offensive, WDSU.com reports. The campaign, run by St. John Faith Church, features a group of so-called "HIV prevention mobsters." The group, which has several billboards across the city, contends that the campaign is effective because there has been an increase in the number of people calling the church seeking information about HIV testing (WDSU.com, 6/5).
