Description
This "Steck" cartoon depicts a naked woman and a naked man, with their arms around each other, seated on a hilltop, gazing upward with a started look on their faces. Snow is falling around them, but they are sitting under the "protection" of a condom, which is keeping them safe from the snowfall, and safe from the darkness, as light is eminating down from the condom above. Since the snowflakes can be suggestive of sperm, the couple can be thought of as being kept safe from the transmission of AIDS through the use of a condom. Part of the public AIDS campaign in Germany: Gib AIDS keine Chance [Don't give AIDS a chance]. Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, item GW136.
