Description:: One side of the card shows a black and white caricature of a crying baby holding a cat by its tail. The baby is sitting up, its eyes closed tightly in pain, dripping large tears, with its mouth wide open, bawling. The baby's left hand holds tha cat's tail, but we see only its tail and hind legs.

Description:: There is an additional inscription next to the four pictures of native Canadians:The Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network Inc. (CAAN) is a non-profit coalition of individuals and organizations which provides leadership, support, and advocacy for Aboriginal people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS regardless of where they reside. These four Aboriginal people in the photo to the left have all been affected by HIV/AIDS, fear and discrimination in some way, and come forward as a part of this year’s Aboriginal AIDS Awareness Day Poster Campaign to tell their stories. It is the goal of these individuals, and of all the members and associate members of the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network, to make sure that all Aboriginal people in Canada have the facts about HIV, both to protect ourselves and our families, and to help those of us already infected with the disease achieve the quality of life that we deserve. For more information on Aboriginal people and HIV/AIDS call the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network toll-free at 1-800-285-2226 or go to our webpage at WWW.caan.ca.

He also has a necklace with "dogtags" attached. There are hand-drawn male and female symbols on the poster. There is also a cartoon of a male figure with a cartoon bubble over his head containing an "equation" of a male stick figure plus a female stick figure equals a heart. To the right, a female figure's bubble has the words "Talk about safer SX [i.e. sex]". In the French version, the cartoon is similar, but the bubble over the female figure's head says "Parlons securi-SX."
