Notes

Description

Date on back of poster, 2006, reflects when the vendor received the copy later acquired by the UCLA Library.
A young man with a shaved head wearing a green polo shirt and standing with his arms crossed. A drawing of a heart with an arrow coming out of the top right (modeled on the male symbol?) appears in the top right corner as a logo for the STOP AIDS organization. Poster questions whether career-oriented me, or "yuppies," are less likely to be HIV-positive, and encourages viewers to avoid making assumptions.
Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, item DK016.
Translated additional poster text: Dangerous conjectures? Most men use condoms and lubrication, when they have sex with a new partner. Every now and then some men use other methods to avoid being infected or infecting their sex partner. Some try to guess whether their sex partner is HIV-positive or not. It can be worth it to look at his age, what he does in bed, or how one met. But neither age, meeting place or sexual experience can tell whether a person is HIV-positive or not.
