Youth Education Life Line is the
committee of ACT UP that focuses on
teen issues in the AIDS crisis.
We are a body of diverse, articulate,
in-your-face activists fighting for students' l
l

rights to comprehensive AIDS education,

free condoms, dental dams, and dean nee-
dles in the New York City schools.
Our members represent a cross-sec-
tion of the multicultural society we live in
today: women, men, queers, strai ghts ,
young and old, HIV+, HIV-, ethnic and
other minorities. We do not discriminate.
since its creation in 1989,
. h a s ...
e handed out condoms and safer sex liter:uure lo
over 45,000 studenu in New York City.
e forced t.he NYC Board of Education to expand
AIDS education by fall 19'J I , including a cnmlmn
av:.ilability program on t.hc l1igh school level. 1
e represented youth at the ' I.
International Conferences on AIDS New York Connection• Decetrber 1990
in Amsterdam & Berlin, and testified "Act u,, FI•N lf•clt.."
before the N:uional Commission on
Teens Fighting AIDS

 AIDS/HIV IUASIC FACTS:
• HIV is the virus generally believed to cause AIDS.

what you do. HIV can be transmitted from unsafe
.I
sex, needle-sharing, mother to fetus, and breast-
feeding.
• You can't tell if someo ne has AIDS by the
way they look.

KISSING DOESN'T KILL :

GREED AND
INDlFFERENCE DO.
Why flave
?•
The HIV virus can only be transmitted by
exchange of infected blood, semen, vaginal
fluids and breast milk. So protect yourself
with latex every time.

USE LATEX CONDOMS - naiUral skin

USE LATEX OR REGULAR SARAN WRAP
FOR DAMS

USE WATER-BASED LUBE WITH

NONOXYNOL 9--- spit. baby oil or vaseline
on a condom makes 11 b reak.

Don't forget: •
• Always use a condom when you fuck, give
or get a blow j ob, or use a dildo, vibrator,
and other sex 10ys.
If you can't find condoms in your school, call
the High School HIV Resource Center at
(7 18) 935-3900.
• Never let anyone pressure you into doing
something you don't want to do. It' s your
body, your choice.
Anybody having sex is at ri sk for getting HIV. tbe virus believed to cause AIDS. Condoms
can prevent HlV infection, venereal disease. WJd unwanted pregnancy when used properly.
BE SAFE! STAY HEALTHY! ENJOY SAFER SEX!
Use a condom every time you have sex!

 SAfER SEX When you see a latex
glove you may not think
of sex. But there's lots of ways to do it (safely!) with a glove.
Here's how to cut a latex glove:
1. Cut the four fingers off but leave the
thumb.
2. Cut the glove up the side with the
pink y.
3. Wash the talc off ( it tastes bad!).

Now that you have a latex barrier,

here's what to do with it:
Whether you are a guy or a girl, if you
want to go down on a woman, spread
the cut glove across her vagina and hold it
in place while you lick her. The thumb you
left on the glove makes it easier for your
tongue to do its thing.
ff you're going to l ick someone's ass, ~
then stretch your cut glove across the
hole before you sta11.
HIV can be tmnsmiued through tiny cuts
on your hands, so whether you're pulling
just a couple of fingers or your whole fist
in your partner's vagina/ass, wear a glo ve.
If you're using just o ne
finger, cut a finger off the glove and
wear that.

If you can't get a latex glove:

• Cut a Condom:
Take the rollt:d up condom and cui to
the ct:nter. Then unroll it. Unlubed
condoms work best (lubricated con-
doms get messy and lube tastes had!)
• Get a Dental Dam:
Dental dams are 6,. x 6,. squares
of latex. They're ready-to-use latex
barriers, but they're h:ud to get
(Try Eve's Garden or Condomania).
• Use Saran Wrap:
This Is a last alternative!

Other hints:
• Lubricant can make ltttex feel better by
Increasing the sensitivity. Put lube on
the side you don't lick and keep it
away from your mouth.
• Always use a water-based lube (such as
ForPiay, KY jelly, or Wet) because oil
can break down latex.
• Toppings {like honey, jelly, powdered
sugar, or syrup) can make latex taste a
lot better. So when you're hungry for
oral sex, put your topping on the side
of the latex where you can lick it off.
But don't usc oil based toppings (like
whipped cream, chocolate sauce,
peanut butter, and liqueurs) because
they an break down latex.
• Don't use any latex twice-throw it oul
and get a new piece! FIGHT AIDS!
