- Abstract:
- The front of the card features two baseball players, a pitcher and a catcher. The word "pitcher?" is above the player on the left and the word "catcher?" is above the player on the right, who is throwing the baseball to the player on the left. The word "lanzador?," "pitcher" in Spanish, is below the man on the left. The words "agarra bolas?," "grab balls" in English, is below the player on the right. There is a long dotted line ending with an arrow coming from each of the ballplayers' eyes, indicating that they are looking at each other. In the background, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the center of the card is white. On the back, there is an "out loud" message in the middle of the card: "RBIs yes. STDs no. If you're gonna fuck, use a latex condom." Above, against a red background, is fiction: "I can tell if he's positive or negative." Below, against yellow background, is fact: "Some guys have the HIV virus and don't know it. That's one way the virus gets passed on." Phone number to call for information about getting tested for HIV is provided.
