Action for AIDS ... Kan. Not all lettering transcribed - in Japanese - translation: The era of living together with AIDS. Remove the 'S' from the AIDS and it becomes AID. HIV is not highly infectious and it's routes of transmission are limited so with correct knowledge it can easily be prevented. From now on, let's think about living together with people with HIV in our towns and in the workplace. From AIDS to aid - now is the time your aid is necessary. The majority of people think they are not affected by AIDS. That is the biggest problem. Bears number: 'No. 9691' Includes words 'AIDS' and 'HIV' within Japanese text
