PrEP4Love

The AIDS Foundation of Chicago wanted to target the demographics with the highest rates of new HIV cases per year: black gay men, black transgender women and black cisgendered women. In a visual campaign that featured real couples, pathogenic language was paired with love language to convey nothing –especially fear– should come between a couple in their most intimate moments. The campaign combined expansive OOH executions, branded events and an active social media presence, using the #PrEP4Love hashtag to empower a community to “Catch Feelings, not HIV.”
