An Unfolded Belgian Special Poster (measures 15 3/4" x 23 3/4" [40 x 60 cm]) (Learn More) Face aux IST/sida, ne Comptez Pas sur la Chance (literally translates to "Facing STIS/AIDS, Don't Count on Luck"), the 2000s Belgian poster created to educate people about the consequences of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) which causes AIDS (Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome) and how to protect themselves from the disease. Note that when AIDS gripped the world in 1981, local authorities, healthcare providers and governments quickly created health posters as a way to inform people about the new disease. These public health campaigns continue to this day, and the posters show the different tactics, images (some quite provocative) and messages used by various countries and health agencies in their attempts to educate people about the AIDS/HIV threat. Belgium having had the highest HIV/AIDS rates in Europe until a few years ago, the 2017 HIV figures published by the Scientific Institute of Public Health showed a dramatic decrease in the number of new HIV diagnoses: -9.8% compared to 2015 and -25.1% compared to 2012, which demonstrates that the combination of various preventative measures is working. The success of combination prevention rests on persistent use of a condom, easier and more frequent testing, faster treatment and use of prophylactic pills where necessary. Over the past three years before 2018, the Belgian Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) has been studying the practical applicability of preventive HIV medicines as a valuable complement to the current HIV prevention strategy in Belgium. No new infections were detected in the group of 200 gay men taking this preventive HIV pill. Since mid-2017, this treatment has been approved for reimbursement in Belgium.
