AIDS Healthcare Foundation is known for its money hungry scare tactics, batshit insane/anti-gay advertising, puritanical sex-shaming, and frivolous lawsuits against porn studios over condoms, but—good fucking lord—now they also make horrible parody videos that equate “downtown funk” with catching syphilis. I felt embarrassed just watching this, so click at your own risk.

This video comes from AHF’s “Free STD Check” site, where you can also read about their new ad campaign targeting hook-up app users who are at risk of getting gonorrhea from a pizza:

According to a study by Beymer et al. (2014), gay men who are meeting on location-based dating apps are at greater risk for gonorrhea and chlamydia than those who meet in-person or on the internet.

“Mobile dating apps are rapidly altering the sexual landscape by making casual sex as easily available as ordering a pizza,” said Whitney Engeran-Cordova, Senior Director, Public Health Division for AHF. “In many ways, location-based mobile dating apps are becoming a digital bathhouse for millennials wherein the next sexual encounter can literally just be a few feet away—as well as the next STD.

Fun fact: If you use your digital bathhouse to hook-up with a millennial at an actual bathhouse, you will catch double gonorrhea.
