The campaign was designed to provide a social context in which prevailing social norms are discussed, questioned and reassessed. By creating an atmosphere conducive to changes in social norms as well as in individual sexual behavior the campaign was intended to contribute to the nationwide effort to enhance the likelihood that young people would reduce their risk of HIV infection through either abstinence or consistent condom use and, thereby, reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Young people ages 13-19 are the intended audience for the campaign.|See also PO ZAM 199, PO ZAM 201, PO ZAM 202, PO ZAM 203, PO ZAM 204, and PO ZAM 205 for other posters in this series. less
