Great thread!!! I see it dedicated to infectious diseases in general, not only for AIDS. Here is a set publicizing the UNO anti Malaria campaign, designed by El Mekki, engraved by André Frères and issued by Tunisia on April 7, 1962:

What is the meaning of "Pwas"?

Here is a set about Malaria eradication issued by Solomon Islands on July 27, 1977:

LaoPhil, PWAs are People With AIDS, also sometimes phrased as Person Living with AIDS.

Thanks, KGB, for your explanation. The only stamp I have about AIDS is this one issued by Burkina Faso on August 8, 2011 to celebrate 30th anniversary fight against AIDS. It shows people at the post office and I really don't know the connection to AIDS.

If I remember correctly "La poste a votre santé à coeur. Prot´gez-vous." was an international slogan to promote AIDS awareness. The AIDS stamps were to remind all to protect themselves. Sometimes stamps showed images of condoms or urged people to be tested, to always be careful.

May thanks, KGB, for the explanation. I believe the stamp shows people sending this message on postcards to their friends and relatives.

Many countries issued stamps in 1962 publicizing the UN anti Malaria campaign and I have many of them. From them, I think the stamps of Laos are the most beautiful and attractive. The set was issued on July 19, 1962:

LaoPhil, shall we create a thread for malaria prevention to give these last lovely stamps and others more prominence?

I will check first to see if malaria is already covered in another thread.

I posted my Malaria stamps here since I saw many others Malaria and other infectious diseases stamps beside HIV already posted here in this thread. A special thread for Malaria only will be a good idea and will allow members show their stamps and items about Malaria.

I will create the thread a little later today when I find time. I'll have to look through my stamp collection, too.
