Glasgow AIDS Awareness Adverts
01.They would talk about HIV status but Ken’s got his mouth full. You can’t tell someone’s HIV status just by looking at him, and it’s not the easiest topic to bring up, especially when you’re on the pull. But if you talk about it, you can make an informed choice about the kind of sex you want. If you don’t ask, using condoms and lube every time is the safest option.
02. He hasn’t got the balls to talk about HIV. Discussing HIV status is always going to be difficult, especially if it’s with a new guy, or a one night stand, and you don’t know how he’s going to react. But if you try talking about HIV with him, you may find the extra honesty and trust can make your relationship and your sex even better.

fucking BRILLIANT. light years ahead of us of course.
[...] the park one is a bit lewd – it’s truth without naughty parts printed. (Click to Enlarge) Jocko re-typed the print on the ad… I’m feelin’ a little too lazy to do that myself. [...]
i think these images are really strong, there is no point ignoring what goes on, its not acceptance, but as with many things, helping people know how to prevent is even better. may be the one in the park isnt for children, but if someone is old enough to be sexually active they are old enough to know ALL the risks. i like it, it just smacks all the niavety out of the idea of the dolls.
question though. who’s work is this?
While encouraging people to talk about their sexual health is a good thing and may increase the likelihood of deciding to use condoms as a result. These posters seem to leave open the option of deciding not to use condoms after such a discussion. I believe any resolution to not use condoms for anal sex is a risky one.
