Vergiss Aids nicht: The HIV Test Mirror
Vergiss Aids nicht launched a second round of its HIV-awareness campaign with a new TV spot starring Micaela Schäfer and Julian F. M. Stöckel, plus a social-media challenge. Its hook is a playful, mirror-themed slogan that compares taking an HIV self-test to brushing your teeth, making testing feel like ordinary self-care rather than a taboo.
Why it worked: It reframed a stigmatised act as routine hygiene using celebrity-led bathroom imagery and a nominatable challenge timed to a campaign relaunch date.
The lesson: Consider recasting a socially awkward behaviour as everyday maintenance with a visual-in-the-mirror hook and a pass-it-on nomination mechanic.
