This is the public information film that scared the fuck out of everyone in the 80s when Mrs Thatcher insisted on showing it during every commercial break which I thought was appropriate to post now considering rates of HIV are increasing.

this public awareness advet was both shocking and disturbing by sending dangers on hoto avoid getting it by getting protection whilest having sex and not sharring the same glass in which also can lead to aids i think they should bring this advert back it was the cream of the late 80's tv.
When this came out in January 1987 people were still not taking precautions to reduce the risk of infection its taken 22 years and the deaths of thousands including celebrities to make us realise how much that ad was trying to warn us but back then it was classed as a homophobic issue and the world was an ignorant place which paid dearly 4 not listening back then
How was this advert received at the time of its release? Im writing about it in my dissertation and having trouble finding information on how people reacted to this, from both the public and critics point of view.
Iit was taken seriously. The adverts were pretty scary in themselves but there was alot of intrinsic fear around as there was no cure and people seemed to die quickly as it spread. There was also a period when alot of people didnt know how it was transmitted. Kissing, toilet seats, drinking glasses, fountains were fingered as potential spreading points. Imagine swine flu without any medicine and no symptoms.
Hi! im also doing the Don't Die of Ignorance campaign as well for my dissertation and im also trying to find out its reaction of time of release. was wondering if we could help each other out etc. thanx Kat
Christ, I was about 7 or 8 when these adverts were on, I can vaguely remember one when a girl meets a guy in a club and then spends the next day scared shitless worrying because she might die. Scared the shit out of me at that age!
Actually did you have any of the others - I can exorcise the demons of my childhood! :-)
Still it must have done the job if the comments on being credited by the WHO are correct.
it's a good thing that facing things that haunt people through childhood and to face them dead on and to get closure and move on the best thing in life to watch adverts that scared you and laugh and realised that this is not scary at all and then finaly you can move on trust me it works because i was a victim of this once but not now.
It's easy to criticize when you yourself aren't in a position of leadership... so then what would YOUR response be, particularly seeing as how little most people knew about it for much of the '80s?
