AIDS awareness commercials: a look back

In honor of World AIDS Day today, we're looking back at some of the stand-out awareness campaigns through the years. As our understanding and treatment options continue to evolve, so do our outreach messages. While the earlier campaigns serve as time capsules, they've also had a great impact on prevention of the disease. Hopefully by the next decade, there won't be a need for these commercials anymore.
