Without doubt, the impact of music on human beings is so profound that has the potential to influence positive behaviour change, and also provide tangible health benefits, health care workers have observed. Thus the campaign against the dreadful HIV/AIDS disease could effectively be completed through music.

Undeniably, the message contained in a song can swiftly meander its way into many homes and its way into many homes and it intended impact eventually felt by people, especially when that song happens to have emanated from a talented and celebrated musician, whose music is highly acclaimed. Whether we appreciated it or not, the works of some musicians are more acclaimed than others.

In the light of this, I think music gurus and great highlife musicians of our time such as Kojo Antwi, Daddy Lumba and Oheneba Kissi must be encouraged to come up with songs that can potentially reinforce the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

It cannot be gained said that the afore-mentioned musicians are very influential personalities who have been in show business for quite a long time. they are well known and have may fans across the country.

The albums released by them over the years have been hits, and this vividly attests to the high acclamation a myriad of Ghanaians accord their music, which always sells like hot cakes in the market. These reasons have thus informed my choice for them.

Regardless of the hitherto intensive campaign against HIV/AIDS, it will not be far-fetched that the messages may not have gone down well with a lot of people, especially the rural folk who lack access to the media. But through the medium of music, the HIV/AIDS messages could effectively be carried to them to influence a positive change in their sexual lifestyles.

Indeed creating awareness about the dangers of HIV/AIDS through the genre of music could be viable since music is loved by every normal human being. Besides, it is cost effective. In view of this, I think this suggestion should not be nipped in the bud but rather considered.

In her quest to control the spread of the disease, the nation has so far spent huge sums of money in a bid to mount a powerful campaign against it yet it appears the desired results have not been achieved. The Ministry of Health must give this suggestion a try and I strongly believe it will work.
