S.A.C.P Sin Dh Aids Control Programme War Against Aids C IDS ONT A R H O D L N I P S R O G R W A A M R M S.A.C.P A E G A IN ST AIDS 2013 Foreword HIV is transmitted by people to people and can be prevented by certain behaviors to reduce the risk of infection, including safer sexual practices and accessing counseling and testing at the right time. Prevention can be achieved by individuals when they have the necessary information that can lead to right decisions and choices in their behaviors and practices. HIV Communication is the means to provide this prevention information to any individual who at any stage maybe exposed to a situation with the risk of HIV infection. Communication offers an important tool in the country’s AIDS response where the most widely used means of communication for health and sexual matters is person to person or interpersonal communication, and is the key method of behaviour change communication (BCC). Mass communication through print and electronic media remains an important part of the strategy to foster an enabling environment, to increase social participation, and to address stigma and discrimination through information education communication (IEC). Advocacy communication is especially important as a method to be employed by stakeholders and key agencies, both government and civil society, to support policy development and decision making for better AIDS control. In the end I wish to thank and acknowledge the contribution and support of UNICEF and UNAIDS in the country’s AIDS response generally and their support in the development of this communication strategy which will help us in effective HIV & AIDS related communication. Syed Muhammad Javed National Program Manager National AIDS Control Program December 2013 Acknowledgements Mr Ahmed Saleem (Communications Specialist) was the Consultant for the development of this HIV Communication Strategy, who during the process had detailed consultations with a broad range of stakeholders. Valuable contributions of numerous individuals from public and private health sectors, independent researchers, NGOs working in service delivery programs, governmental and UN Agencies were instrumental in the development of this document. The support of UNICEF and UNAIDS is specially acknowledged for funding this work and of Dr Nasir Sarfraz, HIV/AIDS Specialist (UNICEF) for coordinating the process of developing this strategy, and reviewing various drafts. The strategy owes greatly to all the four Provincial AIDS Control Program Managers, namely Dr Salman Shahid (Punjab), Dr Fazli Moula (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), Dr Muhammad Ahmed Kazi (Sindh), and Dr Mohammad Siddiq Aftab (Balochistan), for providing guidance and support during provincial consultations. This document greatly benefited from the issues raised by and contributions of Dr Muhammad Saleem, Strategic Information Adviser (UNAIDS), Mr Naeem Akhtar Malik, Sociologist (NACP), Dr Rajwal Khan, M&E Specialist (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and People living with HV, specially Association of People Living with HIV. Last but not the least, this task would not have been possible without the stewardship and patronage of Mr Oussama Tawil, previous UNAIDS Country Coordinator who guided the initiation of this process and Mr. Marc Saba, current UNAIDS Country Director.

Pakistan’s estimated HIV burden is low—around 0.1 per cent of the adult population — the country though, is facing a concentrated epidemic among People Who Inject Drugs (PWID). The country has a window of opportunity to act decisively to prevent the spread of HIV. Given linkages between PWID and other Key Populations (KP) at risk including male and female sex workers, Pakistan needs to scale up targeted interventions urgently to prevent the rapid rise in HIV prevalence among Key and Vulnerable population groups. 2. This communication strategy intends to provide a practical, concise and helpful instrument for formulating effective HIV and AIDS communication interventions in Pakistan. It is not a manual on Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) or Strategic Communication processes and implementation. It is designed to cover key issues relating to national HIV and AIDS communication over the next three years (2013 – 2015) and to empower all stakeholders to devise an all-inclusive, audience responsive, culturally
