Description
Text in bottom left corner of poster: Design: Mikkel Sonne; Foto: Morten Wøldike; Tryk: Eks-Skolens Treykkeri APS. 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 DK014. A male with his back turned is pulling down his jeans to reveal his buttocks. 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 play a more submissive role (i.e. "bottoms") in sexual situations are more 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.
