Abstract:
This illustrated postcard shows two couples with their arms around each other being interviewed about the spread of AIDS across Europe. One couple consists of a man and a woman. The man is dressed in traditional German clothing. The woman says "no," and the man says "nein." The other couple consists of two men, one saying "si" and the other saying "da." At the bottom of the card there are two hands, each holding a microphone toward one of the couples. Although "si" and "da" both mean yes in their respective languages, taken together they spell the acronym SIDA (AIDS), so the card actually reads "No/Nein SIDA."
