AIDS ist eine Erkrankung des Immunsystems, verursacht durch das VIrus HTLV III/LAV. Bei sexuellen Kontakten kann sich jeder mit dem Virus infizieren. Kein Impfstoff, kein Medikament kann heute vor einer Infektion schützen, Schutz bietet nur die Vorbeugung. Vorbeugen heit: Sexualpraktiken vermeiden, bei denen Körperflüssigkeiten ausgetauscht werden. Ein Kondom (Pariser) hilft dabei. Informieren Sie sich über Safer Sex. Sicherer Sex ist Safer Sex. Sicher bisser. Safer Sex. Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe e.V. Bears logo: Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe e.V. Translation of text: AIDS is a disease of the immune system caused by the virus HTLV-III / LAV. Sexual contacts can infect anyone with the virus. No vaccine, no drug can now protect against infection, protection is the only prevention. Call prevention: avoid sexual practice where body fluids are exchanged. A condom helps. Find out about safer sex. Safe sex is safer sex.
