Lettering

"Von Heroin kriegt man noch kein AIDS". Dass einer Heroin nimmt, heisst nicht, dass ihm alles egal ist. Die Droge hat ihr Risiko. Aber durch cleanen Umgang mit Spritzen, durch Rauchen oder Sniffen kann eine HIV-infektion ausgeschlossen werden. Von Heroin allein Kriegt man kein AIDS. Safer Sex mit Kondom. Safer Sex mit eigenem Besteck. Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe e.V. Gestaltung: Peder Iblher. Translation of text: "From heroin one does not catch AIDS." When she takes heroin she doesn't care about anything. The drug has its risks. But, by dealing with clean syringes, by smoking or sniffing, HIV-infection are avoided. From heroin alone one does not catch AIDS.
