Surviving & Thriving: AIDS, Politics, and Culture
AIDS, the ultimate going away present, 1980s
Produced by the Dallas County Health Department, this poster prioritized abstinence over safer sex, using fear and certainty of death as the primary motivators for behavior change. The coffin implied that AIDS was a death sentence, silencing positions articulated by people with AIDS that they wanted and needed to be seen as surviving and thriving.
