INTRODUCTION AND

OBJECTIVE: The efficiency in the prevention against HIV by sexual way recommending the use of the condom is low; since it is a purely informative action which is not able to modify conducts or to break taboos. We know the effect of the passion as a motive of renunciation to the preventive measures. As well as the necessity of promoting the training of condom-use and of new technologies for a high reliability in the use of the condom as an efficient barrier. We presented in Montreal (V Int. Conf.) the project RQTS with contribution of a new technology for selection of condoms without faults (M.H.P.21 abstr.). The second part of the project RQTS is the development of a comic showing the condom-use integrating it in the games and relation, specially of the young couple. To learn to share the caresses, the tenderness and the condom, including the laughter it provokes.

METHODS: We have realized group dynamics (young people, homosexuals, sanitary people, prostitutes, patients) to know the degree of knowledge of condom-use and the vocabulary-direct texts. The artist J. Mariscal (creator of the Olympic Games mascot in Barcelona '92) contributes with the creation of a comic starting from the results and so, creating the characters and the story.

RESULTS: We present dynamic results and the comic.
