Are these the world's best ads for safe sex?

A little bit NSFW, as you might expect.

THE NEWS TODAY that home testing kits for STIs are going to be available in Ireland will hopefully have a positive impact on the nation’s sexual health.

After all, no one wants an STI, and huge amounts of money is spent worldwide to try to impact the importance of safe sex on the human race.

Some of the campaigns are a bit much, some don’t make sense, but some are simply brilliant.

Here are eight of the world’s best safe sex ads.
