Medical - Medical: Health Care / STD prevention
French term or phrase: boite à image
Not much context which may be what's throwing me. On a list of "high risk" behaviors among such things as drug use and unprotected sex. I'm pretty tired so if this is should be classified as "easy" instead of "pro" please feel free to change it. This is in a document about preventing STDs but it is not a medical text.

fashionable/trendy (night) club


Explanation:
Some might consider clubs as places encouraging drug use and unprotected sex. Seems more likely than TV to be "high risk" behaviour.
