Description

At the top is a color photograph of a young man which shows his head, shoulders and arms; his palms are pressed tightly against his ears and his facial expression suggest a refusal to hear anything. His shirt is yellow and open at the collar. In the background is a partly cloudy sky. The poster promotes the fact that effective medical treatment will slow the growth of HIV infections; these medications are synonymous with hope much more than sickness. It encourages young men to consult with a physician.
Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, item FR022.
Part of: "Sida. Aujourd'hui on peut faire beaucoup. Mais rien sans vous" campaign [AIDS. Today, we can do a lot. But nothing without you]

Condition note

Additional poster text: On peut se savoir atteint par le virus du sida et ne pass se résoudre à entreprendre un traitement. Pas facile, alors qu'on se sent parfaitement bien, de prendre des médicaments qui rappellent la réalité de la maladie et la rendent visible...
