The ad features a crisp photographic image of two distinct hands forming the ever-popular heart hands sign carefully cradling a LOVE Condom. A beautiful blue sky and clouds set off the image, which is accompanied by the URL for www.AHF.org, which makes it easy to find AHF’s services, including free, nonjudgmental STI testing and treatment locations.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “[t]here were more than 2.4 million STIs reported in the United States in 2023; however, there are promising signs the epidemic may be slowing:

While these data are encouraging, reportable STIs remain unacceptably high and disparities persist.”

The LOVE condom outdoor advertisements will appear on billboards, bus interior cards, bus benches, posters, and transit shelters in 28 cities nationwide where AHF has clinics and Wellness Centers offering free STI testing and treatment, including Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD; Baton Rouge, and New Orleans, LA; Chicago, IL; Cleveland and Columbus, OH; Columbia, SC; Dallas-Ft. Worth and Houston, TX; Ft. Lauderdale, Ft. Myers, Miami, Orlando, Pensacola and St. Petersburg, FL; Falls Church, VA; Jackson, MS; Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco, CA; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Seattle, WA; and Washington, DC and Puerto Rico.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Gene Lamont is back where he once belonged.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are bringing back their former manager as a special adviser to current manager Don Kelly.

This is Lamont's third stint with Pittsburgh. He served as a coach under Jim Leyland from 1986-91. Lamont later spent four seasons as the Pirates’ manager, posting a record of 295-352 from 1997-2000.

Kelly took over as Pirates manager for the remainder of the season when the club fired Derek Shelton last week. Kelly and Lamont go back to their time together with the Detroit Tigers. Kelly was a utility player for Detroit from 2009-14, which overlapped with Lamont's 11-year stint as a coach for the Tigers.

Lamont, 78, is expected to join Pittsburgh next week during a seven-game homestand at PNC Park against Cincinnati and Milwaukee.

The Pirates also promoted Chris Truby, who had been serving as the manager for Triple-A Indianapolis. Truby will work with the Pirate infielders. Shawn Bowman, who began the 2025 season as the organization’s assistant director, coaching and player development/minor league field coordinator, is replacing Truby in Indianapolis.

Third-base coach Mike Rabelo will take on an expanded role in helping Kelly with game planning and in-game strategy.
