Details

• Description:
  Boy leaning against locker with books. English. A/B=Yellowing. Uncut.
  
  "Simple. The same type of sexually behavior that can infect you with gonorrhea, genital herpes, syphilis, and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can also infect you with something else ... the AIDS virus."
  
  "You get STDs by having sex with someone who is infected. That's bad enough."
  
  "But if you continue the same unprotected sexual behavior, you could get something you can't cure. AIDS."
  
  "If you'd like more information on the relationship between AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases, call the National AIDS Hotline. 1-800-342-AIDS. The hotline for the hearing impaired is 1-800-AIDS-TTY."
