I was watching an NBA game tonight and there was a 60-second ad celebrating the joys of gay life while promoting the HIV drug cabenuva.
Do a lot of gay guys watch the NBA? Asking for a friend.
It’s easy to avoid getting HIV. Don’t have unprotected backdoor sex with other blokes and don’t share intravenous needles. If this is asking too much of you, you can take drugs such as Cabenuva.
These HIV drugs target a population that wants to have abundant sex with strangers. My mate parodies: “Do you participate in anonymous gay alley sex? Ask your doctor about Cabenuva to see if it’s right for you!”
Repugnant Blackpills posts on X:
ARE YOU PAYING ATTN?? ARE THEY TRYING TO NORMALIZE / REBRAND HIV AGAIN?!?
Recently I’ve been binging a show on Prime, and there’s these nonstop recurring ads for TWO different HIV drugs.
Cabenuva’s commercial says it’s geared towards “adults who are undetectable”… SMH… Dontcha just love how these underwriters (cleverer than Francis Bacon’s finest wordspell) come up w/ these mindfuck phrases to soften or distort things, like “undetectable adults”?
The Apertude commercial seems to be exclusively geared to market to gay men and trans women.
The HIV drug commercial is so iconic that SNL even did a skit on it.
CABABABARAVE has released a statement on its Instagram saying it is the victim of an anti-trans and anti-non-binary “trolling attack.” It says their controversial drag thong performance for the babies is age appropriate because infants don’t comprehend what is happening. pic.twitter.com/Px39kOQvOG

I love the guy in the Cabenuva ad that tells you to live in the moment. Any more good advice?

Watching A&E channel the last couple of days. They are bombarding us with ads for HIV monthly injections. Coincidence?https://t.co/qCrwoMvSfl

I do not want to personally be associated with the lifestyle presented in the commercials bombarding the television programs I watch with my family!!! All my friends and their families also object, but do not know how to stop it. Changing channels is useless.
What an adult chooses to do privately is their business! Heterosexual people do not usually behave publicly in distasteful ways. Although, I know there are exceptions. But, we are not being overly saturated with it in constant commercials! In my experience, most adults keep their sexual lifestyle private.
Do the majority of the population have any say in this? We are being forced to watch these commercials produced by those pushing products needed by a very small percentage of the whole population! I do not think small children are ready to see these kind of commercials! Especially, OVER AND OVER AGAIN! DAY AFTER DAY, TOO!
I am not afraid to express my opinion! By the way, my own nephew is gay and I love him dearly. I may not agree with his lifestyle, but it is his choice. He would never publicly behave as the actors in these commercials depict people.
TV commercials for prescription meds are about as common nowadays as ads for fast food. But for some viewers enjoying holiday movies on the Great American Family channel (GAC TV), encountering ads for HIV meds featuring same-sex couples felt like getting a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings. They took to social media to complain about the HIV ads, and the network apologized.
“Love the movies! But have you removed the very non-family friendly aids drug ad with 2 men kissing,” a viewer asked GAC TV via social media.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have control over local commercials,” the company responded, “and we sincerely apologize.”
