Description
Additional poster text: Etre safe, ce n’est pas sélectionner ses partenaires en fonction de leur test VIH.Etre safe, ce n’est pas baiser sans capote parce qu’on pense que son partenaire est lui aussi séronégatif. Etre safe, ce n’est pas baiser sans capote parce qu’on pense que son partenaire est lui aussi séropositif.Etre safe, c'est tenir à la vie, éviter les contaminations et les surcontaminations.Etre safe, c'est préférer ses maris et ses amants vivants. Etre safe, c’est mettre des capotes a chaque fois. Choisir son partenaire selon son statut sérologique, c’est de la discrimination.
Translated poster text: To be safe, do not select partners based on their HIV test.To be safe, do not fuck without condoms because you think your partner is also HIV negative. To be safe, do not fuck without condoms because you think your partner is also HIV positive. To be safe is to hold on to life, avoiding infections and reinfections. To be safe is to prefer that husbands and lovers live. To be safe is to use condoms every time. To choose your partners based only on their HIV status is discrimination.
