Collection of International AIDS Posters Available Online
The online collection of over 619 AIDS posters from 44 countries has been digitized from the History and Special Collections division of the UCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. The browseable and searchable collection is available at http://digital.library.ucla.edu/aidsposters/
"The collection provides a fascinating insight into the many approaches that have been used to try to modify risk behaviors," said Roger Detels, MD, MS, UCLA professor of epidemiology and infectious diseases. "The posters range from terrifying to amusing and reflect the many cultures from which they have been drawn, which include national cultures and risk group cultures. The collection should be of interest to anyone interested in the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and attempts to control it."
