I am proof of the power of the early 80's media campaign about HIV in the UK worked! Obviously as a 4 year old I didn’t understand what AIDs or sex was but I believed that you caught AIDs off a condom if you didn’t put it on a boys willy correctly. It must have had a lasting impression as now i am a sexual health nurse :-)
