Talk about AIDS before It Hits Home
(normal size jpg)

(high resolution jpg) High resolution version (2,965,439 Bytes)

Description:
The poster to the right was inspired by the CDC's "Talk About AIDS" campaign designed to encourage dialogue about the disease in order to foster understanding and greater awareness among the general population. The image of a heartfelt conversation between a mother and teenage daughter provides a normative representation of the behaviors advocated in the text--common myths are addressed and parents are provided with specific instructions about what to do and say to their children.
