HIV PSA

This PSA released in 1992 was shown with limited nationally distribution.

Its message was presented to and endorsed [but not funded] by San Francisco AIDS Foundation, AMFAR and AID Atlanta.

I read the New England Journal of Medicine for a year [and every article in there published on HIV] to develop the material for this project.

There are four basic themes to this piece:

1) Anyone can get the virus.
2) Women are victims [recipients], and generally not transmitters of the virus.
3) You can't trust anyone to tell you the truth whether they have the virus.
4) If you get the virus, you will [eventually] die.

The purpose of this project is to reduce the spread and transmission of the AIDS virus.

Because of the politics, this project was the least enjoyable of any I've worked on.
