A Vienna-based men's magazine has printed its May issue using ink infused with HIV-positive blood in a bid to "break the taboo" linked with AIDS.
The Vangardist magazine said that handling a copy of the edition carries no risk of infection as it was produced as per the most stringent controls using guidelines set by Harvard and Innsbruck University.

The publishers noted that despite 30 years of campaigning, activism and research, HIV remains the sixth biggest cause of death in the world, adding that yet for many people the virus is seen as old news, with discussion and debate relegated to just one or two days a year when key communities and organisations around the world force the issue back onto the news agenda.
Vangardist CEO Julian Wiehl said the lifestyle magazine had a responsibility to address issues shaping society and topics affecting its readers.
