'''AIDES''' is a French community-based non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting those directly or indirectly affected by [[Wikipedia:HIV|HIV]]/[[Wikipedia:AIDS|AIDS]], and to increasing public awareness about the disease.<ref>[http://www.aides.org/en/statutes-founding-texts "Statutes/ founding texts"] on the AIDES.org website. Retrieved June 12, 2011</ref> It was set up in 1984 by Daniel Defert following the death of his partner Michel Foucault and state-approved in 1990. The organisation's name comes from the French word ''AIDE'', meaning support, and the English word "AIDS".

AIDES has initiated several public-awareness programs, utilising posters and videos.<ref>[http://www.aides.org/en/campaigns "Campaigns"] on the AIDES.org website. Retrieved June 12, 2011</ref> Some of these contain [[anthropomorphic]] animals.

One AIDES [[Wikipedia:Public service announcement|Public Service Announcement]], released in 2011, is entitled ''A Smutley Cartoon - Gettin' Tail'', and is a [[cartoon]] presented in black and white (with film scratches) and character designs from the 1920's "silent-age of animation". Smutley is an extremely promiscuous, bowtie-wearing [[cat]]. To the musical accompaniment of [[Wikipedia:Joan Jett|Joan Jett's]] ''[[Wikipedia:Bad Reputation (Joan Jett song)|Bad Reputation]]'', Smutley is shown entering a rough-looking bar called "Furballs". After flipping a coin into a jukebox and attracting the eye of a female [[turtle]], Smutley is shown having sex with her in a run-down bedroom.

As a [[Squirrel_(species)|squirrel]] turns a crank to advance different scenes from right to left, Smutley is further shown having sex with a [[rabbit]] in a sauna, a [[non-morphic]] (and possibly [[bestiality|non-anthropomorphic]]) [[Wikipedia:Goldfish|goldfish]] in an elevator, a [[dolphin]] (penetrating its blowhole), three [[seal]]s in an office typing pool, a [[pig]] in a [[BDSM]] dungeon, four [[chicken]]s in a sports locker room (also non-morphic or non-anthro), a [[vixen]] in the back of a taxi cab (being driven by a [[monkey]]), and an [[elephant]] in a public library.

The cartoon ends with a series of title cards warning the viewer: "He's got nine lives", "YOU only have one", "Protect yourself".

The Smutley campaign was created by Los Angeles-based advertising agency [[Wikipedia:Goodby, Silverstein & Partners| Goodby, Silverstein & Partners]].<ref>[http://adsoftheworld.com/media/tv/aides_smutley AIDES: Smutley] on adsoftheworld.com. Retrieved November 25, 2011</ref>

Also created by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, another 2011 campaign by AIDES was "Welcome to the World of Sex".<ref name="BehanceWorld">[http://www.behance.net/gallery/Welcome-to-the-World-of-Sex-AIDES-Ad-Campaign/1061501 Welcome to the World of Sex] on behance.net. Retrieved November 23, 2011</ref> This was a printed-media campaign, featuring a detailed illustration of a sex-themed amusement park.

One area of the park map appears to depict a number of people in [[murrsuit]]s having sex. In the French-language version, this area is labelled "La Foret Frivole", which translates as "The Frivolous Forest".<ref>[http://www.aides.org/sites/default/files/image/campagne_GSP_2011_Smutely/AIDES-015_1_SexParkCropMarksFrench_front.jpg French-language "Welcome to the World of Sex" poster] on the AIDES.org website. Retrieved November 25, 2011</ref> In the English-language version of the illustration, this area is labelled the "Enchanted [[Furry]] Forest".<ref name="BehanceWorld"/>
