World AIDS Day Posters

aidsslider1In this audio slideshow from BBC News we can look at some of the subtle and shocking ways that health campaigners have used images to raise HIV/AIDS awareness across the world. This is explained by Julia Nurse and William Schupbach, two of the librarians who helped assemble the images for the Wellcome Collection.
