AIDS, don't let it happen
The South African Department of Health commissions an advertising agency to develop a new HIV awareness campaign, adopting the slogan 'AIDS, don't let it happen'. The campaign uses its own icon: a yellow hand, rather than the new global red ribbon. The icon is kept for four years, amid considerable resistance, before being dropped.
