Edinburgh accounted for over 40% of the HIV/AIDS cases in the UK in the 1990's and the Lothian Health Board worked hard to produce a range of campaigns to make sure as many people as possible were made aware of the dangers of the disease and how to avoid infection.

The Take Care Campaign was launched in 1989 by the Lothian Health Board as a means of educating the public on the dangers of HIV and the importance of safe sex.Lothian Health Board took part in this National promotional campaign put in place to promote safe sex and good sexual health on a National scale.

Although a large majority of those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS were from Edinburgh and the Lothian's; many awareness campaigns were rolled out across Britain in an attempt to slow the spread of the disease as far as possible.
