Cover me and cover yourself, 1985

After the U.S. Conference of Mayors made funding available to individual city governments, participating public health organizations created community-specific campaigns. These efforts stressed practical approaches to limiting risk of being infected/transmitting AIDS, while acknowledging that celibacy would not work for everyone. This “divinely” inspired poster, a play on Michelangelo’s fresco of the Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel, presented condom usage as a strategy to protect both partners.
