Brazil does have the concept of Jury, but this case fits a different criterion.
There are some conditions for a jury in USA as well.

I remember, when I was a kid, of a bunch of ads on TV raising awareness and medical professionals would visit schools to teach stuff. And you could get free condoms in events and medical facilities. Those campaigns were not only about STDs, also about a bunch of other health related stuff, from driving safely to using floss and recycling.
I don’t see those any more. I talk to people that never heard of those campaigns, and some are afraid to “look like a sailor” for carrying a condom.
I think the last campaign I remember in Canada was “Plenty of Syph”, a fake dating website where people’s profiles would show different stages of the disease.
