Public Service Announcements (PSA) and Videos

Public Service Announcements (PSAs) are effective media tools designed to raise awareness or build public support for issues and events. Secretary Tommy Thompson and other leading Federal health officials and community leaders have recorded 30-second messages about the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS and the important steps necessary to fight this disease. These messages are available in MP3 format.

Contact your local radio stations and direct them to this Web site to download and broadcast any of these PSAs, or listen to them yourself. Place the cursor on the file you want, then right-click and use the "Save Link As" or "Save Target As" command. You'll need a media player that can handle MP3 files to listen, which you can get free over the Internet.

* Unless otherwise noted, the listing below refer to PSAs.

HIV/AIDS and Hispanics

New Information for Latino AIDS Awareness Day, October 15th!

HHS is proud to announce the release of a new public service campaign titled PAREMOS EL VIH. EMPIEZA TÚ. The campaign contains five radio spots and two television spots specifically developed and created in Spanish for Hispanic audiences. The messages are designed to heighten awareness of the epidemic among Hispanics and highlight the importance of HIV testing.

All spots encourage viewers to call the National AIDS Spanish-language Hotline (1-800-344-7432) for more information about where to get tested for HIV and how to avoid infection. These PSAs deliver sound science-based information that is crucial in helping Hispanics make informed choices about how to reduce their risk of HIV infection.
