Question

“Don't die of ignorance” justify the statement ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

AIDS: Don't Die of Ignorance was a 1987 public health campaign by the British government in response to the rise of HIV/AIDS in the United Kingdom. The government believed that millions of people could become infected and a leaflet was sent to every home in the UK.The question, ‘Was the Tombstone campaign successful?’ is one which has reoccurred throughout my academic career. I tell people I’m a historian of HIV and AIDS, and people mention it in response. They remember the ‘Don’t Die of Ignorance’ campaign, were frightened by it, and some people may have even changed their behaviour in response to it, but how can we know if it was a success?

There has been a lot of press coverage looking back at the Tombstone campaign. The narrative offered up, in memories of the fear it conjured and through interviews with the advertisers and politicians who created it, generally paint it as a brave controversial intervention, something new, and as generally successful.
