AIDS ADS WILL SHOW CONDOMS

The Clinton administration soon will venture where its Republican predecessors would not tread: It will unveil a national AIDS advertising campaign for young people that encourages condom use.

The ads mark a new era of frankness in AIDS prevention programs, health experts say.

"This is the first time you'll see a condom in a federally produced" public service ad, said Kristine Gebbie, national AIDS policy coordinator, in an interview following a speech Friday in Ann Arbor, at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

The campaign has been kept under wraps to avoid "weird backlashes," Gebbie said.
