PSI India aims to raise AIDS awareness and promote condom use in major port cities through the "Operation Lighthouse" campaign. The campaign will feature Balbir Pasha, a fictional character, in mass media advertisements to change risk perceptions and social norms. Advertisements will portray real-life situations to encourage condom use and provide contact information for HIV/AIDS resources. Both mass media and interpersonal communication will be used to reach port workers, sailors, security personnel, truckers, sex workers, and the general community in order to reduce HIV prevalence in high-risk areas.
