VD: Values, Rights, Public Health

February 16 - May 28, 2010 VD: Values, Rights, Public Health chronicles the social and cultural history of venereal diseases (now known as sexually transmitted diseases) in the United States beginning in the 20th century. Through compelling posters, photographs, documents, and relevant historic objects, this exhibit examines the response of public health agencies, medical researchers, the military, non-profit organizations, and communities to what was once considered one of America’s most urgent challenges—particularly prior to the development and widespread use of antibiotics in the second half of the 20th century. The exhibit demonstrates how language and graphics used by public health and civic leaders strongly reflect the history of the times and reveals how rhetoric underscores community values. Questions about individual rights, stigma, and sexuality are contrasted with issues of societal values, health, and safety. VD: Values, Rights, Public Health illuminates this perennial struggle. VD: Values, Rights, Public Health is organized by the Global Health Odyssey Museum with the Division of STD Prevention, National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
