Abstract

    The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of media health campaigns on the people of Punjab province in terms of knowledge, attitude and practice regarding HIV/AIDS. Data was collected through convenient sampling procedure from 500 respondents of age 18 to 57 of 35 different districts of Punjab province. The results confirmed that TV particularly and media, generally is the main source for health information in both urban and rural areas.
