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. |

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.
