French AIDS Awareness Campaign

This image was used as part of a French ad campaign dealing with the issue of AIDS awareness. Though slightly more graphic than we are used to in American advertising, I think the nature of the image presents an incredibly strong message to the viewer. AIDS is seen as a poison, and deadly one at that. When looking at the image, I feel a sense of cognitive dissonance that completely grabs my attention.
