ATLANTA — Ahead of the FIFA World Cup coming to six cities in the United States, a non-profit healthcare organization is promoting safe sex with a series of new billboards.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is putting up new billboards to promote the use of condoms in Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia and Seattle, timed for when each city has World Cup Games hitting the pitch.

AHF said the new “GOOOOOOOOOAL!" billboards are meant to promote use of condoms while playing off the “FIFA World Cup fever” taking over the globe before the season starts.
