AIDS awareness and disease risk perceptions or
should it target particular barriers to condom use or
combination of both?
• How customized the first phase should be to Mumbai’s
language and culture?
• Sanjay wondered whether or not a mass-media
campaign was the best way or PSI could expand on-
the-ground IPC operations?

risk sex situation. In order to overcome language barriers, it has to be executed
across a range of channels, dubbed in local dialects and subtitled in Hindi, the
main language in India

provide additional exposure.
