Abstract

This is part of a case series. In March 1983, newly elected Federal Health Minister Neal Blewett was briefed on 40 different health issues. Quite a way down the list was a mysterious condition called GRID (gay-related immune deficiency). Blewett was advised that the disease was not anticipated to pose a significant threat to public health. It wouldn't be long before he realised otherwise. This case study follows a dramatically successful, government-backed social marketing campaign that gave Australia a lead over most other countries in reducing the burden of AIDS.
