AIDS virus, a deadly Saturday night special, 1989
This poster referenced Saturday Night Special: A Story of Choices, a photonovel produced in 1987 by the California AIDS Clearinghouse to provide information on HIV/AIDS to populations with high rates of illiteracy. The booklet used photographs to educate instead of text. Unlike the photonovel, which stressed practical strategies for protection, this advertisement conflated AIDS with a random specter of death.
