This poster really struck me, especially with the “Famous Last Words” in the red text at the bottom. It made me think about how many people died as a result of contracting AIDS from choosing to have unprotected sex, when they could have prevented the disease by wearing a condom. This poster points out the potentially tragic effects of AIDS, which was similar to the issues touched on by the AIDS Memorial Quilt- The Names Project we saw at the special collections. It is saddening to think about how many lives could have been saved by wearing a condom, which is what the poster is advocating.
