So do you suggest educating people when it's too late?
Obviously the 5 year olds out there are not in the high risk group, and I doubt the commercials used them as the target audience. and since when did commercials have to be for literally everybody?
They stated in the commercial "It is a everyone thing". As in everyone has aids. Aids should not be encouraged as a normal acceptable thing. It is not a good thing to have STDs. This makes people not care like "Oh whats the big deal its just an STD. I dont care if I get those". You can pass these to your children! Since when is this a good thing? Yes we should educate people. We should not act like everyone gets it, should get it, and will get it. STD is not puberty. It is not like its something that just happens and we should all have to live with. It was already said you can only spread it through blood and sex. Not everyone is getting blood of having sex so not everyone is at risk. So the fact its aids preventive was not my issue with it. It is how it was presented.
No that is not the point. My point is it should not be encouraging it. I don't think anyone with an STD wants others to get it. I don't think they would encourage people to get it. I am sure they don't like having it. People should not be encouraged to be reckless though. I do not think we should be encouraged to spread things like herpes and aids. Presenting it in such makes it seem like you should not care. When you can go to jail for murder if you give someone aids without telling them I THINK ITS A BIG DEAL. That is an actual law. Its not the point of having it its spreading it! Yes being convicted with murder might not matter to you but it should to most people. Its not a joke anymore then cancer. Why they had to check blood drives better. For this kind of thing was happening. You might be ok with getting it but if you spread such things and another person dies guess who is going to jail? YOU!
Not not really. Children/teens watch television. Many people imitate television. That means more teens are going to get pregnant since this commercial.
Which means STDs will go up since this says not to care. The world worships celebs and as if they are GODS. It starts with our teens and some of our younger adults as well.
Many teens have sex before the age 18. These people will have kids and pass it on to them. Why should a child suffer with an STD they are born with? That they can never ever remove. They did not choose this.
Things have consequences sooner or later. It might not happen now but later it will be felt.
You aren't making any sense. How is telling people to get tested for STDs the same as telling them "not to care"? It's doing the opposite.
Many people have AIDS out there and don't even know it, then they spread it to others. At least if they know then they can make the decision not to spread it, and allow their partners to make decisions as well. The responsible thing to do is to get tested, not just pretend that STDs don't exist.
The implication from these commercials is that once you get tested and know you have the disease, you will be more careful so that you don't spread it to others. After all, if you don't even know you have the disease, there's nothing you can do. It sounds like you don't understand this.
Is it normal tv seems to be encouraging STDS?

I think you are looking for an issue where none exists. Your attitude suggests that you do not accept people with this disease.
I'm sorry you don't like the way the information was presented. I believe they are just trying to remove the stigma of STDs in general.

I think you read too much into the commercial. Maybe you should turn the TV off for a while.
