Description: Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, item CN078.
Poster is copyright 2004 Cabra Diseño and San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
The poster depicts a grainy black and white photograph of two men, one lying face down and the other lying face down on top of him; only the heads and shoulders can be seen. Both men have their eyes closed, and their positions suggest that they are having anal intercourse. Each man is making an assumption about the other and whether he is HIV-positive or negative. Poster text suggests the importance of being informed about HIV to prevent contracting it.
Based on the San Francisco "Assumptions" campaign, the slogan reads, "Comment fais-tu pour savoir?" English version is: "How do you know what you know?" www.penses-y.ca
Other people involved in poster creation: Raúl Cabra, Andy Williams, Wesley Ito, Liz Craig and Jillian Moffett.
