Just in time for World AIDS Day, Aidshilfe Vorarlberg draws attention to HIV with posters saying "kiss me dear". Thus, unwarranted but still existing contact concerns should be addressed.

Contagion by the ignorant
The AIDS problem has lost some of its relevance to the general public in recent years – but there are still new infections: Eleven people in Vorarlberg have been diagnosed with HIV last year – about the same number as in previous years.
AIDS in Vorarlberg
- Positive test until December 2017: 454 people
- Infections recently discovered in 2017: 11 people (2016: 14)
- Up to now suffers from AIDS: 146 people
- Of these, 78 people died
Aids-Hilfe wants to educate people and encourage them to test them to detect a possible HIV infection as soon as possible. Approximately 40% of those infected receive late diagnosis, according to Aidshilfe-Vorarlberg Meat Director. Thus, the virus is still often transmitted by people who know nothing about their infection. Ignoring an infection also has many disadvantages for those affected – because a very good course of the disease can be ensured, especially through an early medication. It would be a challenge to get to this group of ignorants.
