Summary/Abstract: The subject matters of the analysis are social campaigns on HIV/AIDS that took place in various countries after 2000. My key issue is the way of presenting death (as the kind of “obvious” subject in the context of terminal disease), especially metaphors, symbols and allegories that could be founded in these campaigns. On the other hand, the important issue – from my point of view – is the fact of interweaving the spheres of death and erotic. Both spheres have to coexist, since the main way of infection is sexual intercourse.
