This Ugandan poster advises against confusing the symptoms of AIDS with those of other diseases, and stresses the importance of getting a reliable medical diagnosis. Some of these diseases are also familiar in developed countries (alcoholism and cancer), some others (malnutrition and measles) are more widespread in developing countries like Uganda.
