Several governments have shown their support in the fight against HIV/AIDS by putting prevention messages on specially-designed postage stamps. Three such stamps in Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Chad have featured Population Services International (PSI) products or services. Another special sticker issued by the Nepal Ministry of Communication's Department of Postal Services featured the message "Protect yourself and others from HIV/AIDS" and a PSI campaign logo, and was placed on every piece of mail domestic and international for six months, motivating healthy behavior far beyond the reach of mass media.
