SAINT PHALLE, Niki de. 
AIDS. You Can't Catch It Holding Hands.

From 1983 to 1986 Niki de Saint Phalle wrote and illustrated AIDS: You Can’t Catch It Holding Hands working with Swiss immunologist and AIDS specialist Prof. Silvio Barandun. Written in the form of a letter to her son Philip, she used her joyous style to deliver straightforward information about the transmission of HIV from unprotected sex and needle-sharing by intravenous drug use.

First published in 1986 in the USA in English by Lapis Press, the book went on to be translated and published in Japanese and Italian. In total, 70,000 books were distributed for free in schools. All the benefits were donated to AIDES, the first French association fighting against AIDS.
