Saavdhaan- It's a battle against AIDS 

The film “Saavdhaan- It's a battle against AIDS” is produced by UNAIDS in partnership with BSF to spread awareness about HIV prevention among uniformed personnel and their families. The film was released by the Hon’ble Union Home Minister, Mr. Shivraj Patil, on World AIDS Day 2007. The film highlights all relevant HIV prevention related messages, including removing stigma and discrimination. It also highlights the crucial yet less known fact that HIV positive parents, with due medication, can have HIV negative children and therefore motivates personnel to get themselves tested for HIV.

Besides Hindi, the film has been dubbed in eleven Indian languages – Asamese, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Kannada, Manipuri, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Telegu and Tamil.
