HIV Express 2005 Campaign
Activity Dates
2005-2007
Activity Summary
BCCP in partnership with Square Group designed and conducted a campaign to raise awareness on HIV and to begin a national dialogue around HIV issues. The overall campaign objective was to create an enabling environment among the general population so that HIV/AIDS issues could be discussed freely with access to correct information.
The campaign provided information through counseling sites and through printed materials. The dissemination of correct and factual information about HIV/AIDS was aimed at countering the widespread myths and misinformation and to gaining positive and action-oriented responses among the intended audience. In addition, the campaign sought to reduce high-risk sexual behavior and to make people aware of the fact that anyone can be affected by HIV/AIDS. The theme for the campaign was “Talk, Know, Prevent HIV/AIDS.”
