Part of the _Knowing is Beautiful_ public-service campaign, these dressing were designed to encourage testing and become a badge of honour. I am not clear how karimglyphics shaped bandages promote aids testing, or become an honourable mark (for what exactly?) but there you go. Critique aside, first-aid has become such a hot go zone for designers to tackle, and this product was early on the curve.
