In 1987, one of the advertising designers for SFAF, Les Pappas, urged condom companies and public health officials to include gay men in their target audience. Pappas believed that eroticizing condoms and their role in preventing sexually transmitted diseases would change attitudes towards their use. As a result, the SFAF conducted a large advertising campaign, placing messages on public transportation, popular newspapers, and strategically placed advertisements in venues and media popular with the gay community, like gay bars and bathhouses. Additionally, SFAF regularly spoke at public conventions and campaigned to the healthcare fields and government. The foundation also worked with journalists to increase awareness and understanding of the epidemic. The media produced by the SFAF focused on risk reduction and safe sex. In particular the
