EpiC Project Background:

Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) has been supporting the rollout of the targeted, PrEP campaign targeting young MSM to raise awareness and promote PrEP service update at CBOs’ health centers under the project since the beginning of FY20, the campaign is primarily – though not exclusively – focused on online reach and conversion due to shifting preferences among our target audiences, the potential for greater targeting afforded by online platforms, the (relatively) low cost of online advertising per size of potential audience reached, and the opportunity to test and iterate demand generation approaches quickly in digital spaces.

Starting with “PrEP Me Now” campaign with its focus on highly sexually active MSM/MSW between the ages of 19-35 broadly speaking, with sub-audiences of “well-educated, gay-identified men” and “fitnessdriven men” for whom messages will be framed around reduction in HIV risk and healthy lifestyles, respectively. The focus on these two initial groups is intended to help our media agency to rapidly test and refine targeting and message framing strategies so that this “microtargeted” approach can then be applied to other audience segments. The campaign has consistently generated a positive impact toward PrEP uptakes in the previous quarters and has been re-introduced to “The Journey to Your Health” campaign in the beginning of 2021 up to the present day. The campaign is primarily designed to continue to focus on PrEP promotion with the extension to other key services namely “treatment initiation” and “U=U messaging”, specific health content for MSM who engage in Chemsex as an alarming issue in Thai MSM community, “Index-testing” as a main strategy to improve HIV case finding under the project “HIV self-testing” as an alternative testing and strategy available in FY 22.

In FY23, the project aims to continue promoting PrEP among the key populations. In Quarter 3-4 of FY23 the project will working on the series of campaign including the offline campaign event to promote the PrEP uptake among the key population audiences in public spaces. The service requires the agency for the production of communication materials to be displayed in public, which including the IEC materials and other communication tools to be disseminated with the engaged participants in the designated event.

Also, in this FY23, the project will be focusing on the self-care campaign with a joint with the partner organization. The goal of the campaign aimed at promoting self-care to empower individuals to take charge of their well-being, allowing them to prevent and treat diseases on their own, in addition to conventional healthcare practices.

The campaign is scheduled to be introduced in Thailand in late August 2023 with partnership of the project’s partner organization. The campaign will also include ‘The Community Connect’ meeting will have the presence of the esteemed Key Opinion Leader (KOL). During the event, we will meet and interact with 30 pre-selected community representatives, including influential social media personalities who are also active members of the community. The campaign hopes to inspire the community to embrace self-care practices, and KOL involvement will add credibility and influence on the campaign’s message. Continuous engagement on social media platforms will ensure widespread awareness and participation.
