Magazine Prints Its Cover With HIV-Infected Blood

They want to bring awareness to the disease.

vangardist-cover1Vangardist, a progressive men’s magazine based in Vienna and published in both English and German, is printing its next issue with HIV-infected blood on its cover to bring awareness to HIV and AIDS. While it normally prints 100,000 copies, there will only be 3,000 copies of the upcoming issue printed with blood on its cover. And it will be delivered in a plastic wrapping.

Three HIV-positive people donated blood for the project — a 26-year-old gay man, an anonymous straight man, and a 45-year-old woman who contracted the disease two decades ago from her husband.
