AIDES Woody for HIV Unwaware

AIDES, the French AIDS awareness organisation, is running “Woody”, a film inspired by the classic tale of Pinnochio, aimed at an estimated 650,000 people in Europe who are still unaware of their HIV status. The film shows two characters, played by comedy actors Mathilde Warnier and Alexandre Ferrario, who move from dance floor to the bed, unaware of the man’s HIV positive status. The campaign includes two posters showing a man’s nose growing as he claims not to need protection.
