AIDS Posters - UCLA Digital Library
by possibly noteworthy at 8:53 am EST, Feb 25, 2007

The main objective of posters, as with other communications media, is to influence attitudes, to sell a product or service, or to change behavior patterns. Public health posters are clearly in the third category, their purpose being to alter the consciousness of the public to bring about an improvement in health practices.

See, for example, Arabian Nights: "Night was beautiful, the sky was starry, and Sheherazade took out a condom."
