You may think that the 95% number is high, but you need to consider only there are 1-2 million people living with aids in north america, compared to 25-30 million people(7.5% of the population) living with aids in Sub-Saharan Africa where this ad will never be seen. We need to keep people informed about aids, tell them what it is, what it will do to you, how you can prevent it and where you can get the supplies to prevent it free and anonymously . In a country like Africa it was already wide spread when discovered and it is going to be a much harder job to stablize the infection rate in those countries because the they just don't have the resources to inform and prevent new infections although they are working VERY hard with some success(I think/hope). I'm not sure the % of people that don't know they are infected in North America, but I'm damn sure it's not a low number.
I going off topic a bit so I'll save the rest for another thread. Again, I see nothing wrong with these ads I could care less if about his brand, but if the ad makes one person say "hmm 95% That's a big number, I think I'll get tested" then the ad was worth it.
Edit: I wanna make clear when I say AIDS I mean both HIV and AIDS.
