HIV/AIDS marketing in the United States vs. Developing World

Magic Johnson - Kaletra Poster

Originally uploaded by quami77.

This advertisement was on a billboard on a street in downtown Chicago. I found it interesting that HIV/AIDS ads in our country are prevalent– moreover, they may even include a celebrity sports model, like Magic Johnson.

And yet, in the developing nations like India and China, STDs like AIDS/HIV are surrounded by a horrible stigma.. So much so, that it took a long time for the Chinese government to even admit that AIDS was a problem! If recognizing that a problem exists is the first step to solving it, China already put themselves behind the ball from the very start.

I wonder how long it will be until we see Indian/Chinese celebrities on HIV drug advertisements…
