    Wow really? If extreme scare tactic commercials were their way of encouraging safety and getting tested they DEFINITELY failed in that area. lol This would only stir paranoia. I remember the D.A.R.E drug-free commercials, growing up, but not these. lol Then again, ppl weren’t 2 knowledgeable on the disease in early 80s-90s, so the message was just don’t get it. HIV/ AIDS testing is quick and painless recent yrs-now so wrap it up, be safe or simply abstain guys! ;-)

    @recorez I never saw the PSA with the couple making out in the backseat.
    I did see an HIV/AIDS poster that had the couple making out and it was justaposed next to an actual car wreck.
    One magazine ad reads: “Vanessa was in a fatal car accident last night, only she doesn’t know it yet” and this portrays HIV as an unseen murderer that can’t be removed once it’s inside the immune system.

    @IwillKillYourCereal No.
    Though smoking can and eventually will affect your lungs and your ability to breathe.
    And IV drugs can infect you directly if an infected needle pierces your skin.

    This PSA is suggesting that drugs impair your judgment, thus you make riskier choices, like unprotected sex, which can lead to AIDS. Understand?

    @TonyShow82 Yes. And then there are the people who lose their job because they have such a serious habit; there are the people who die because they made a mistake with the doses, sometimes from just one dose. You’re probably talking about cannabis, and while that doesn’t have quite as serious short-term effects, long-term use can cause memory problems and paranoia. Drug PSAs are necessary, because otherwise all we get are people telling us that drug-taking never did anyone any harm.

    @Notebookwriter1 Actually, drugs are the second biggest cause of AIDS, after unprotected sex.

    @TonyShow82 : True, everyone dies in the end, but you still want to lead a healthy life. No one wants to die before their time. I don’t like how they blame drugs specifically for AIDS though. However, you gotta remember that this was the early 1990s and just a couple years back, the AIDS virus broke out.

    I like how this commercial used shock value and scare tactics on the viewer but doesn’t speak on safety nor prevention information. Its just like No. Don’t get it or you’re screwed for life. 80s-early 90s…ahhhh such an odd time.

    Everybody loves horror movies and horror movies are cool. This PSA isn’t proving a thing except say that drugs are cool. And last of all everybody dies anyway with or without drugs. I know a lot of people who did that shit for decades and still know how to ride a bull without falling off! These drug PSAs is just another brainwash that died a long time ago.
