Abstract	Awareness of the history of health education efforts is important for health educators. The VD Radio Project, developed in the middle of the 20th century, was a cooperative effort of the United States Public Health Service and Columbia University designed to encourage people to be tested for sexually transmitted infections. How the campaign came about is described and programs that were part of the campaign are summarized. While available radio programs indicate the focus of the effort was to reduce syphilis, news stories and books mentioning the campaign indicate both syphilis and gonorrhea were concerns. Performers were used to present the messages, a practice that is still used today. Differences and similarities between the VD Radio Project and a comparable campaign conducted today are noted.
