Vintage STD Posters - Lady Cop - 11-23-2011

American health authorities tried to lessen the taboo that went along with sexually transmitted diseases in the years following World War II by launching a provocative ad campaign.
There are no official statistics to show how many people contracted sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis and gonorrhea, though the prevalence of these diseases jumped radically due to the movement of troops during that time.
While the visuals may be old, the message stays the same: the Centers for Disease Control recently released their annual report saying that the number of new cases of sexually transmitted diseases continued to increase in the United States, now reaching 19 million new cases every year.
A host of posters were re-released in an effort to drum up attention to the issue, offering a look back at how the diseases were dealt with in earlier decades.
The sexual proclivities of soldiers, often lonely, far from home, and infatuated by foreign women, played a major role in the spread of the diseases in the middle of the 20th century.
The posters of the time played into the stereotypes of soldiers, as well as preconceived notions of the diseases.American health authorities tried to lessen the taboo that went along with sexually transmitted diseases in the years following World War II by launching a provocative ad campaign.

The posters of the time played into the stereotypes of soldiers, as well as preconceived notions of the diseases. (and stereotypes of "loose" foreign women too!)
