2011 is one of the biggest years for AIDS stamp releases. The Univeral Postal Union (part of the United Nations) is encouraged all member nations to release a stamp commemorating the 30th anniversary of the discovery of the AIDS virus.
Algeria
Scott 1528
Armenia
Scott 886a-b
Belarus
Scott 769
Bosnia and Herzegovina (Muslim / Sarajevo Administration)
Scott 676
Brazil
Scott 3206a-h
Burkina Faso
Scott 1334-5
For some reason I once had these listed as Scott 1818. This is incorrect. They are Scott 1334-5. Scott has no 1818 for Burkina Faso.
Cambodia
Scott 2390-3
Interestingly, the series was originally intended to include a 5th stamp. This stamp was aborted before release out of both budgetary constraints and concerns over the image. This is the image of what would have been the 5th stamp.
Cameroon
Scott 972-4
The woman on the first stamp is the first lady of Cameroon. She is one of the driving forces behind the Chantal Biya foundation (as seen in their 2001 stamp set).
Colombia
Scott 1367
Dominica
Scott 2761A
Fiji
Scott 1256-9
There is at least one interesting tab appears on sheets of these stamps as seen here.
Iran
The Universal Postal Union promoted Iran as releasing an AIDS stamp this year, but no stamp was ever released.
Kazakhstan
Scott 641
Luxembourg
Scott 1320
Macedonia
Scott RA158
Malawi
The Universal Postal Union promoted Malawi as releasing an AIDS stamp this year, but no stamp was ever released.
Mauritius
Scott 1098
Morocco
Scott 1137
Note the spikes on the virus. Morocco did a similar design back in 2006, even though the AIDS virus looks like it has has suckers, not spikes.
Scott 1141
This stamp was released in promotion for their work on the UN Millenium Development Goals. The pill bottle on the bottom is the logo for goal #6, Combatting HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and other Diseases.
Mozambique
Scott 2224 (4-stamp sheet) and 2240 (s/s)
Mozambique engaged in excessive stampage to the tune of ten thousand stamps or more over a several year period. I can't imagine these stamps were ever used in country or valid as postage, but Scott has given them catalog numbers so I'm listing them here.
North Korea
Scott number unknown
Pakistan
Scott 1142
Paraguay
Scott 2920
Peru
Scott 1770a-b
Romania
Scott 5274
The stamp has been printed on 32-stamp sheets along with 12-stamp sheetlets (with the four tabs). So if you want to buy this stamp with the tab, make sure you know in advance what you're ordering as you might not get it otherwise.
St. Lucia
Scott 1274
Serbia
Scott 550
According to Linn's Stamp News, this stamp is flawed in that the image pictured on this stamp isn't actually an AIDS virus. You can read more at the tail end of their article on bad stamp design.
Sri Lanka
Scott 1818
Syria
Scott number unknown
Togo
See the under investigation page.
United Nations
Geneva: Scott 537
New York: Scott 1028
Vienna: Scott 498
Each of these sheets corresponds to a different United Nations office.
Ukraine
Scott 847
Uruguay
Scott 2342
My information was Uruguay was releasing an AIDS stamp on December 1st, but this was released mid-Summer. Could another stamp be on the way this year?
Uzbekistan
