One of the major threats faced in the fast changing world is of communicable diseases and infections such as Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s). In Pakistan where reproductive health related issues are not discussed openly, it is difficult to find any countrywide data on the prevalence of STI’s. There are, however, a few selected small sample studies confirming its prevalence in general public as well in high risk groups. At policy level we find little recognition and willingness to deal with these infections. However this process can be geared up with the help of mass media for raising awareness. This paper seeks to examine the role of media in creating public awareness and in breaking the silence against these ‘taboo’ infections and make people aware about its prevention and cure.
