AIDS Advertising

Tagged:

World AIDS Day is December 1, so I thought it would be good to do a post on some interesting and powerful HIV and AIDS awareness advertising and marketing. The following are some standouts.

1.Headless Sex

2.Deadly Penis

3.Cadaver Sex

4.Spider/Scorpion Sex

5.AIDS Discrimination.
Text reads:

“In Denmark those infected with the HIV virus are still victims of prejudice and stigmatization. The Danish AIDS charity, AIDS-Fondet chose to highlight this on World Aids Day this year with this event, which resulted in nation wide press and television coverage. The person inside the balloon wore a t-shirt which carried the campaign message: Prejudice is one of the worse side effects.”

6. Very Clever Ambient AIDS awareness sign

7.To promote the use of condoms in Buenos Aires, Argentina the government covered the city’s central Obelisk with a giant pink colored condom. It was part of World AIDS day on 1st December.

8.Those passing by stop to look at what initially seems to be a poster depicting various sexual positions, commonly found in dorm rooms around the country. But look a bit closer…

9.114 statues on Hamburgs main square.The statues remind people of the 144 kids in Hamburg that somehow were affected by HIV. Each with a quote of a child:

“Mom says: In our home country, we would’ve died already.”
“Dad says: If Max finds out about our secret, he’ll never play with me again.”
“Mum has to go to the hospital. Do I have to live with strangers again?”
