This is a picture of UK government HIV and AIDS prevention campaign in 1987. It is known as the iceberg advert. The idea is that the world AIDS is an iceberg, and the tip of the letter A is above the water, thus demonstrating that the levels of HIV and AIDS in 1987 were just the tip of the iceberg.
