AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The disease remains the most dangerous of all sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). A condom remains the only protection against the disease during sexual contact.

Campaign Plate Forme Prévention Sida

Valentine's Day is therefore the ideal moment for the Plate Forme Prévention Sida to repeat that AIDS remains incurable. The campaign of 2010 shows 2 romantic candles in the form of condoms. The title is: Face aux IST*/ SIDA, ne comptez pas sur le romantisme. Protégez-vous (Do not count on romance in front of an STD or AIDS: protect yourself). Posters, cards and banners with the campaign image can be obtained at the Plate Forme Prévention Sida.
