 AB    OBJECTIVE: To create awareness in the city of Nairobi aiming at sexual
       behaviour change. METHOD: AIDS campaign involved 10 councillors, 5 NGOs
       and 2 PWAs from ASOs. Speeches, puppetry shows, drama and songs on
       HIV/AIDS were conducted. Literature and condoms distributed. The
       exercise was carried out twice a month for four months. RESULT: 2nd, 3rd
       and 4th months saw an increased turnover of people. Increased knowledge
       in questions asked. Condom demand in public social places incresed.
       Increased demand for literature and more invitations to the campaigners.
       CONCLUSION: Politicians are an added advantage to pulling the masses.
       Political will is therefore essential in HIV/AIDS awareness programmes.
       The use of puppetry and drama as well as personal experience of PWAs
       brought the message clear.
