Issue: To inform different groups of population about the possible risks in an accessible way; to establish an international visual code of communication to remind travellers of the need to keep themselves safe from HIV infection; to provide those in need with preventive means (condoms) and information material. Project: Free distribution of the passports against AIDS at discos, on the beach, on highways, broadcasting on TV and radio, informing through the press, youth festivals, memorial days. Results: Being a small country, Lithuania has become a part of an international network, exhaustive and reliable information is spread regularly, the society's attention is drawn to HIV/AIDS, related issues by mass media, further Government's steps in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention are called out for. Lessons Learned: "Europe against AIDS" summer campaign is a good possibility to make (more active and attractive) AIDS/STD and sexual education work and condom promotion in society and others objective groups. It is of essential importance to fight with HIV/AIDS spread in the international framework, as AIDS has no country borders, sex or age differences, or financial limits.
