I was visiting my brother in LA this past weekend and saw this billboard.
The ad is from the Aids Healthcare Foundation and is meant to bring a funny and lighthearted spin to something that many people find uncomfortable.
The ad matters to me because it is funny, I love wiener dogs (obviously) and my uncle died of AIDS.

Sorry to hear about your uncle, but the sign is a great way to broach a sensitive yet important subject.

It’s a great ad for sure. I am sure it has drawn a lot of positive attention to a really important concern.
I’m very sorry to hear about your uncle.

Sorry about your Uncle. That is a great ad! Happy WW!
This is great! I have a family member living (and thriving)despite his HIV diagnosis, so I can empathize with how truly important this ad is!! Thank you so much for sharing!
