    LOVE CAN PREVENT AIDS

    Aids is a deadly disease - there is no cure. You can catch AIDS if you have sex or share needles with someone who is infected. And you Can’t tell who is infected because most infected people appear normal and healthy. Love for yourself, your partner and your community can protect you from AIDS and prevent its spread. Stay with one partner or use latex condoms and don’t use or share needles.
