Description
Additional poster text: Farlige formodninger? De fleste mænd bruger kondom og glidecreme, når de har sex med en ny partner. Af og til bruger nogle mænd dog andre metoder til at undgå at blive smittet eller at smitte sex-partneren. Nogle prover at gætte sig frem til, om sex-partneren er hiv-smittet eller ej. Det kan være ved at se på hans alder, hvad han gor i sengen, eller hvor man mødte hinanden. Men hverken alder, mødestad eller seksuel erfaring kan fortælle, om en person er smittet med hiv eller ej.
Date on back of poster, 2006, reflects when the vendor received the copy later acquired by the UCLA Library.

Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, item DK013.
A young man in a green t-shirt and black jeans stands with one hand hitched in his pants pocket. 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 gay men who are dominant (i.e. "tops") in sexual situations are less likely to be HIV-positive, and encourages viewers to avoid making assumptions.
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.
