The Brazilian government is highly praised for its Aids programme, which includes the distribution of free condoms and a pragmatic approach to the problem in an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country.
But this is not the first time the Health Ministry's campaigns have attracted criticism.
Last year, the ministry dropped a video produced for the festive carnival period featuring a gay couple.
The current campaign of awareness to sexually-transmitted diseases will go ahead, without the "happy prostitute" reference.
It's entitled "Not ashamed of using a condom".
Brazil has experienced a boom in sex tourism in recent years.
With widespread poverty in the country, many boys and girls enter prostitution at a very young age.
