"We hope that the TV APIs can remind travellers that safe sex is the only clue to protect themselves. Always wear condoms during sexual behaviour."
According to the statistics from AIDS Unit, Department of Health, there is an increasing trend that AIDS is contracted through heterosexual intercourse. In many cases AIDS patients contracted HIV virus from commercial sex workers or irregular sex partners and passed on the virus to their spouses.
The TV APIs will be shown to all out-going passengers at the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) Station in Lo Wu during the Easter holidays, a peak season for travel when more than 180,000 members of the public are expected to cross the border every day for fun and relaxation in China.
To supplement the publicity messages of the TV APIs. CEPAIDS had conducted a small scale publicity operation on March 21 where leaflets and giveaways on AIDS were distributed to out-going passengers at the departure hall of Lo Wu KCR Station.
