      Before these ad campaigns people were too ashamed to even talk about or mention VD in any kind of setting, so if anyone contracted it, or thought they contracted it......stayed silent and didn't ask for help. Commercials like these got more people to talk about VD, got high school students to ask information about if they thought they got it. Same with AIDS, is it better to have people completely silent and never mentioning it, even those who might have it? Or is it better to get people to start talking about it?
