Public-health posters like this one (see a larger version here), promoting Minnesota's effort to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, serve two good purposes.

The first function is more urgent, of course, but the second—which often affects a larger number of people, depending on the disease—is not to be sneezed at in these troubled times.
