according to UNAIDS sex workers are 10 times more likely than the general population to be HIV positive. Another high risk group consists of the truckers. Truckers spend weeks, even months, on the road ferrying loads across the length and breath of the country. But it's not just cargo that moves along these transportation routes, it's also HIV. Sexual health awareness is low among these truck drivers.
OTC INSIGHT Asia-Pacific reported recently that, in India, around 2 million truck drivers are frequently engaging in unprotected sex with sex workers and only 11.4% of these workers said they had used a condom.
Tata Motors decided to tackle the problem head-on with the target group, the truckers. Tata Motors with the help of creative agency Rediffusion Y&R and launched the “Use Dipper At Night” campaign in April 2016.
Indian truckers have a strong cultural identity and “Use Dipper At Night” (reminding drivers to dip their headlights during nighttime). The idea was to encourage truck drivers to practice safe sex by linking this concept to the phrase that resonates strongly with every member of the community. Thereby a new condom brand called Dipper was created and marketed exclusively for the truck drivers.
HLL Lifecare, a government-owned corporation and India’s largest condom manufacturer, produces the the condoms. Each wallet, which contains three condoms, is decorated with different truck art motifs and slogans, such as “Have a Safe Journey”, to make them more appealing to the target consumer.

ReplyDeleteI'm Anna. For four years, I suffered from oral and genital herpes, trying various medications and living in fear of the next outbreak. Desperate for a solution, I found Dr. Utu's herbal cure online and emailed him at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
DeleteDr. Utu responded promptly, offering reassurance and a personalized herbal remedy. I followed his instructions and underwent a medical test after completing the treatment. To my surprise, the results showed I was herpes-free!
I took another test at a different facility to confirm, and it was also negative. Today, I've overcome the stigma and suffering. My quality of life has improved significantly, and I'm grateful to Dr. Utu.
If you're struggling with herpes, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Utu. His herbal remedies are effective, and his support can make a significant difference.
I am delighted to share my remarkable experience with Dr. Utu, the traditional African herbalist who successfully cured me of my herpes virus using his herpes herbal cleanser. I had been suffering from herpes for over a year and had tried various treatments to eliminate this debilitating condition, but none of them proved effective.
DeleteDespite my initial reluctance to accept that there might be something in this world that couldn’t be treated, I turned to prayer, believing that God would intervene in my life. A few months ago, I came across numerous testimonials about Dr. Utu herbal cure, which described how he used his herbal cleanser to treat and cure individuals. These testimonials convinced us to contact Dr. Utu for any health issues, assuring us that he could provide immediate assistance.
I wrote to Dr. Utu via email, explaining how I had found him and detailing my condition. He confidently assured me that he would prepare the herbal cleanser for my herpes and guided me through the four week treatment process. He also asked for my address to arrange for shipping.
After completing all the necessary steps, Dr. Utu sent me the herbal cure via DHL Express Courier. I followed his instructions diligently, and after a few days, I began to notice positive changes in my body while continuing the treatment. I contacted Dr. Utu again, and he encouraged me to complete the entire course. After four weeks, I informed him of my progress, and he suggested I undergo another test. I arranged for my lab doctor to conduct another blood test.
The test results confirmed that the herpes virus was no longer detectable in my system, and my blood work showed excellent results. I am overwhelmed with gratitude! Today, I am free from herpes, and I want to let everyone know that a cure is possible with the herpes herbal cleanser. For anyone still facing this challenge, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Utu at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
