Date Sold 10/4/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded African Special Poster (measures 16 1/2" x 23 1/4" [42 x 59 cm]) (Learn More) World AIDS Campaign (WAC) was launched in 1997, initially managed by UNAIDS and focusing on raising public awareness on specific issues related to HIV and AIDS. 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. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the hardest-hit region and HIV infection is becoming endemic in the region, which is home to just over 12% of the world's population but two-thirds of all people infected with HIV. Across Sub-Saharan Africa, more women are infected with HIV than men, with 13 women infected for every 10 infected men. This gender gap continues to grow. Throughout the region, women are being infected with HIV at earlier ages than men. Kenya has the joint fourth largest epidemic in the world, alongside Mozambique and Uganda with 1.6 million people living with HIV in 2016. In the same year, 36,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses, while this is still high it has declined steadily from 64,000 in 2010. In recent decades Kenya has been a huge prevention success story in the region. It was one of the first to approve the use of PrEP and has led the way in providing VMMC. As a result, new infections have fallen dramatically in recent years. In 2016, 64% of people living with HIV in Kenya were accessing treatment. However treatment coverage among adolescents is much lower at approximately 24%. Although awareness of HIV and AIDS is high in Kenya, many people living with HIV face high levels of stigma and discrimination which prevent people accessing HIV services. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was designed to be displayed in Ethiopia. Note that this is one of 118 "special" posters in this set of auctions that were either made in Africa or printed to be displayed in Africa. This is very notable, because African posters (from "sub-Saharan" Africa, excluding South Africa) are unbelievably rare. In all of eMoviePoster.com's many years of auctioning we have only auctioned a tiny number of posters from African countries that were not Egyptian or South African. In addition, there are almost no collections of African posters outside of Africa, and we know of no major public sale of them. So this is a rare opportunity to acquire African posters, and as always in eMoviePoster.com auctions, they all start at $1 with no reserve! Condition: very good to fine.
