Description
Additional poster text: Les IST* ne sont pas toujours visibles. Faites un dépistage.*Infections sexuellement transmissible Poster depicts an unmade bed. Two pillows are partially shown: one is black and the other is black-and-white, with a pattern of circles encompassing radially-oriented swirls, reminiscent of the motion that induces hypnosis. A similarly patterned comforter is pulled back to reveal a white satin sheet with thin folds arranged in the shape of the word: Syphilis. The phrase "La Grande Simulatrice" is inscribed underneath in a red dot-matrix, suggestive of bullet holes. Possibly encourages the user to have the stealth of a skilled hunter to track down and eliminate undetectable STDS--by practicing safe sex. Translated additional poster text: Sexually transmitted diseases are not always visible. Track them down. 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 BE012.
