Description

Purple background with yellow and light purple text. Cartoons of two personified penises. One penis has a worried expression; the other is covered by a condom and is smiling, winking, and making a thumbs-up sign. Lower right corner shows logo for Durex, a brand of condoms. Poster humorously promotes the use of condoms for safe sex.

Condition note

Additional poster text: Nowadays, when you have sex, you need to protect yourself. Condoms are the only sure way of reducing the risks of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases… including HIV/AIDS. You can buy condoms from chemists, supermarkets, petrol stations and vending machines. There’s more to condoms than you think—check out the instructions next time you buy a pack.
