Drivers navigating Miami\u2019s busy streets are doing a double-take this week, courtesy of a massive public health blitz timed to coincide with the FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n

Capitalizing on the large crowds flooding Miami to watch soccer, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation has rolled out safe-sex billboards with giant soccer-themed condoms.<\/p>\n

By blending the high-stakes thrill of a game-winning goal with a plea to wrap things up, health advocates are using the world\u2019s biggest sporting event to tackle a real-world issue: normalizing condom use.<\/p>\n

The \u201cGOOOOOOOOOAL!\u201d billboard campaign features imagery of the iconic black-and-white hexagonal skin of a soccer ball stretched lengthwise across a condom with AHF\u2019s \u201cuseacondom.com\u201d URL underneath.<\/p>\n

The campaign, intended to remind people to \u201cscore safely,\u201d is running in six cities nationwide where FIFA events will take place: Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia and Seattle. Two are in the city of Miami and one is in North Miami.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a public health organization, it\u2019s our responsibility to broaden community knowledge, especially knowing statistically during summer months and large outdoor events we see an increase in sexually transmitted disease rates,\u201d said Imara Canady, national director of community engagement & communications for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also understand that people aren\u2019t always aware where access to free prevention tools like condoms are,\u201d Canady said. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun way that ties into that, while the world is coming to cities like Miami. The billboards are a reminder that you still need to protect yourself, especially with what the statistics show.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to FIFA, roughly 5 billion people engaged with the FIFA World Cup 2022 and an estimated 1.5 billion tuned in to the final between Argentina and France. The FIFA World Cup 2026 matches in the Miami area begin on Monday.\u00a0 All seven games in South Florida will be held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

AHF offers free condoms at almost all of its facilities nationwide, including its 79 Healthcare Centers, 50 Wellness Centers, 67 Pharmacies, and 26 Out of the Closet thrift stores. It also offers free sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV testing at 50 Wellness Centers across 15 states.<\/p>\n
