NOVEMBER 2006 — FHI/Pakistan collaborated with UNAIDS and Pakistan's National AIDS Control Program to produce Al Vida, a music video featuring Pakistani pop star Salman Ahmed. It follows the story of an HIV-positive woman activist. Even viewers who do not understand Urdu will be touched by Ahmed's song and can follow the storyline through the stunning and emotionally charged imagery. Launched a year ago, the video continues to resonate. Used as a tool at media workshops, the song also airs on Pakistani and Indian music channels and MTV Asia. 
The Department for International Development (DFID) contracted FHI/Pakistan to conduct a National Study of Reproductive Tract Infections: Survey of High Risk Populations in Karachi and Lahore. The report, launched in August 2005 by National AIDS Control Program Government of Pakistan, is available now.
