The Three Amigos speak to 84 percent of world’s sufferers

OTTAWA, CANADA, December 3, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On December 1, World AIDS Day was a reminder that the use of condoms remains the most-effective way to avoid catching and spreading the HIV/AIDS virus. It was also a reminder that Chocolate Moose Media’s The Three Amigos campaign speaks directly to those places where the disease is a major scourge.

The 20-epsiode, animated public service announcements promote the message of condom use in 45 languages and have been seen in 150 countries since they were first released in 2004 at the height of the worldwide AIDS epidemic.

Through the use of humour, they are as relevant today as 24 years ago and have played a role in dimishing the effect of the disease where it continues to claim thousands of lives each year, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia where 84% of the the world’s AIDS cases exist, according to UNAIDS. Champions of the campaign include Archbishop Desmond Tutu. It also won a George Foster Peabody Award in 2006.

All The Three Amigos episdoes are available for free use on Firdaus Kharas’ Vimeo channel.
