New German HIV/AIDS Campaign Pushes the Envelope | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 31.03.2007

New German HIV/AIDS Campaign Pushes the Envelope Germany Deutsche Welle 31.03.2007: "A new campaign to raise awareness about HIV infection uses shock tactics to get its message across. The foundation behind it says the pictures are meant to provoke in order to bring the issue of HIV back into focus.
In one of the campaign's posters, a woman dressed in only black panties and high heels kneels in front of a naked man. But in place of his penis, the barrel of a silver pistol is in her mouth. The text accompanying the photo: 'There's only .003 mm latex between life and death.'A new campaign to raise awareness about HIV infection uses shock tactics to get its message across.

Get AIDS sense or pay price The Nation The Australian

ON the eve of the 20th anniversary of the controversial Grim Reaper television campaign, health experts are warning that the number of HIV cases will continue to rise unless the Government funds a national campaign to raise awareness of AIDS.
The number of new HIV diagnoses in Australia increased 41 per cent between 2000 and 2005, after years of decline.
"We need a national campaign to target the younger generation, who just aren't aware of HIV and AIDS," said Bill Bowtell, director of the HIV-AIDS project at the Lowy Institute for International Policy.
