การใช้ศิลปะเพื่อเพิ่มการรับรู้เรื่องถุงยางอนามัย

Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, are safe, inexpensive and highly effective in preventing unplanned pregnancies and transmission of STIs, including HIV.

For decades, Brazilian artist Adriana Bertini has used her artistic creations to raise awareness on the importance of condom use. Adriana’s art is embedded into the social and cultural fabric. It addresses condom uptake without stigma and discrimination, and challenges taboos around sexual health, sexual pleasure and sexuality education.

“I hope my art provokes educational debates and helps to overcome the stigma and discrimination related to sexual health that prevents condom use, particularly among youth,” said Bertini.

Adriana is an internationally recognized artist. Inspired by her volunteer work with children living with HIV in Brazil in the 1990s, she started to use conceptual fashion as a unique form of activism to raise awareness about AIDS and HIV prevention.
