Marc Loveless, executive director of Coalition for Justice and Respect, said one of the main messages of the campaign is that anyone who is sexually active is at risk from the disease.

“The point that we have to help people understand is that if you are having sex with any person, you are not at low-risk. There’s no such thing as low risk,” he said.
