anthropomorphization trend remains unabated! After the launch of disease anthropomorphism by UNDCP, the Taiwan Medical Technology Integration Society and the Taiwan AIDS Society also launched the "Disease Anthropomorphism Health Education Propaganda Program". HIV (HIV) became the 3C destruction king who was wearing a high-tech mask and could not speak and could only make noise. However, when he met three bands representing prevention and treatment medication, the situation changed. Hopefully, combining animation and music to create a dialogue between disease and society, so that the people can understand AIDS more.
Taiwan Medical Technology Integration Society and Taiwan AIDS Society hosted the AIDS personification project "Aidself" and held a three-day series of activities in the Red Building and Outdoor Plaza in Ximen starting from the 27th, including anthropomorphic planning exhibitions, theme album release concerts and charity markets.

In the AIDS personification project, the HIV nickname Noyce is a mysterious character who is only 155 cm tall and wearing a high-tech mask on his head. Unexplained reasons make him only make noises because he cannot speak. The meaning he wants to express will be displayed on the mask screen. Along with this unknown cause, there will be many noises around Noyce. Getting close to electronic products can also cause a brief loss of signal. In severe cases, it will cause the items to be affected by noise and damage.
Fortunately, there are three anthropomorphic bands that can help Noyce control the situation, namely the "PrEP Blue Bay Orchestra", the "PEP Big Tree Orchestra" that symbolizes pre-exposure and post-exposure prevention, and the "TasP Pink Revolution Paradise" that are treated after infection. The three groups each have their own music styles to represent their medicinal characteristics.

"PEP Big Tree Orchestra" PEP dosing method personification (also known as post-effect drug): It is an antiviral drug treatment. If the drug is started "instantly" within 72 hours, it can effectively prevent HIV infection. (Photo/taken from)
Among them, "TasP Pink Revolution Paradise" entered the real world from 2 dimensions during the event. Singer Gao Leiya transformed into the lead singer Xu Zixian, with pink hair and rock dress, singing loudly the song "As the Dawn Breaks" specially created for this event.
design team pointed out that in order not to demonize the HIV virus, Noyce's character is childish and polite, symbolizing that he can communicate and live together in the right way; the exhibition also spoils the subsequent comic plots, and Noyce will regularly watch live performances to solve the information problem, symbolizing that as long as he takes medicine regularly, the HIV virus can be controlled.

AIDS has existed for nearly 40 years. Hong Jianqing, chairman of the AIDS Medical Association, said that people are not unfamiliar with AIDS, but due to misunderstandings, many prejudices and labeling are generated. In fact, there are many ways to prevent this disease, including medication before and after exposure. Patients receive treatment are also a part of prevention, which can prevent the spread of the disease. However, AIDS is too complicated. I hope that through this project, more people can understand and eliminate prejudice.
. Secretary-General of the Taiwan Medical Technology Integration Society Chen Taicheng said that this plan hopes to use music as a medium to conduct social issues dialogues, so in addition to comics and animation methods, music elements are also included. We hope that AIDS, a more threshold-based health education knowledge, can influence the public in an educational and subtle way. They even wrote 6 songs, and held a concert on the release of AIDS personification project album on December 28 and 29, with Wei Jiaying, 9m88, Guo Xiuyu, Gao Leiya and others taking turns to perform.
