Cultural artefacts (music, TV, film, theatre and literature etc)

AIDS and Its Metaphors — 1989 work of critical theory by Susan Sontag
AIDS: Don't Die of Ignorance — 1987 UK public health campaign. Can probably be expanded from National Archives; they ran an event for LGBTQ+ History Month in 2021 mentioning that John Hurt reads the voiceover with "Here is something new, dangerous, alien", given that he was previously known for Alien (1979) — and presumably also for Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), though they didn't mention that in the event.
