PEPP activities: IEC development, training and outreach activities to educate low-literacy populations. A. To educate low-literacy populations and encourage dialogue, cartoons were developed with simple information on HIV transmission, prevention, support and care. The cartoons were used to prepare flipcharts (with Tamil and English text on the backside) [20], small booklets and one-page pamphlets to distribute to the public. B. A trained female Peer Health Educator uses the flipcharts to educate a women's self-help group on HIV and AIDS. C. As part of their training, barbers do games to overcome their stigma and fear about condoms.
