Innovative Postal Campaign Spreads HIV Awareness Via Mail In Nepal

Population Services International (PSI) has kicked off an innovative HIV
prevention campaign which places a sticker bearing the mmessage "Protect
yourself and others from HIV/AIDS" on every piece of mail entering and leaving
the country. This campaign aims to reach rural Nepalese who often do not have
access to television, radio and newspapers, and therefore may have not been
exposed to PSI/Nepal's various mass media HIV prevention campaigns.

Through funding provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development,
PSI/Nepal has printed 6 million stickers which will reach the remote populations
where the HIV prevalence is often higher than in urban areas. For more
