The interest of this poster lies in its timeless message. The text encourages parents to talk to their children about AIDS, saying that education about the HIV virus “has got to start at home”. I couldn’t seem to find a date of publication for this poster, but pressure on parents to give their children good sex ed has been on for quite a while because schools often don’t do an adequate job educating teens on safer sex practices. This speaks to the general taboo on discussion around sex that has hindered cishet and queer communities alike in the shared goal to eradicate or control STDs like AIDS.
