AIDS Scorpion and Spider

AIDES, the French AIDS organisation, used a spider and a scorpion in 2004 to get AIDS on the visual agenda. Two print advertisements show sexual liaisons between a man and a scorpion and between a woman and tarantula. “Sans preservant, c’est avec le sids que vous fait l’amour”. Without precautions, it’s with AIDS that you’re making love”.

This campaign was developed at TBWA, Paris, by creative director Erik Vervroegen, art director Cedric Moutaud, copywriter Guillaume Chifflot and photographer Dimitri Daniloff.

Critics have panned the campaign, concerned that the victims of AIDS may be stigmatized as monsters.

    It’s used to scare people, because a sex with a scorrpion and tarantula would be unsafe, don’t you se symbolic meaning

    this is rather amazing and sounds unreal that a man slept with a scorpion and on the other hand a woman slept with a tarantula.

    they are trying to say that unsafe sex is just like having love with these dangerous creatures…
