Notes

Subject of poster is Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. (born August 14, 1959), a retired American professional basketball; After announcing his infection in November 1991, Johnson created the Magic Johnson Foundation to help combat HIV; HIV had been associated with drug addicts and homosexuals,[89] but Johnson's campaigns sought to show that the risk of infection was not limited to those groups. Johnson stated that his aim was to "help educate all people about what [HIV] is about" and teach others not to "discriminate against people who have HIV and AIDS".[90] Johnson was later criticized by the AIDS community for his decreased involvement in publicizing the spread of the disease.
