Upungufu wa Kinga Mwilini (UKIMWI) ni hali ambayo imezigusa familia nyingi duniani kote lakini bara Afrika likiguswa zaidi kuliko sehemu nyingine za sayari hii ya dunia. Tarehe mosi Desemba huwa ni rasmi kwa shughuli za kuangalia tuliko toka.Wakati dunia ikitafakari hatua ambazo jamii imechukua kuhakikisha maambukizi mapya ya virusi vya ukimwi yanapungua na pia kuwakumbuka na kuwaombea ndugu zetu walioaga dunia, ni fursa ya kupitia nyaraka na mambo rasmi yanayoweza kutupatia ujumbe rasmi.
Maneno yaliyomo kwenye wimbo maarufu wa Attention Na SIDA wa gwiji la muziki Kongo - Kinshasa na Afrika kwa ujumla François Luambo Makiadi (6 July 1938 - 12 October 1989), ni ujumbe mzuri mno wenye kumgusa kila binadamu kwa kumhadharisha na kumkumbusha wajibu wake. Hebu na tupitie ujumbe huu japo u katika lugha ya kiingereza.
Attention na Sida
Oh, Aids. This terrible sickness
Oh, Aids. A disease which does not pardon
A disease which spares nobody
Aids is a plague
Which leaves doctors impotent
Look after your body, and I'll look after mine
Protect your own body, I'll protect mine
Aids is taking the country
Aids does not discriminate against race
Aids does not discriminate against age
You mothers, beware
You fathers, beware
What can I say, mama? Aids is dividing peoples
Aids has broken marriages, Aids has divided families
Those who used to eat and drink with me, Have started to ignore me
They say I have got the Aids sickness, All my friends are cutting me off
Who can I complain to?
Aids is ravaging all peoples; they are frightened
Europe and the USA accuse Africa of being, The source of Aids
Recently Asia and USA were invaded by the sickness
Today every country is under attack, Aids is not stopping its sinister course
All selections of society are victims of Aids, Babies, children, youths, adults, the old,
Workers, bureaucrats, managers, Men, women and even doctors.
Aids can attack anybody. It can kill, It will kill all who do not protect themselves
You, brothers and sisters who already carry the virus
Do not behave in a way that contaminates others
Aids has made us forget all other illness, If a person is sick, they say it is Aids
If a person has a fever, they say it is Aids, If a person becomes thin, they say it is Aids
If a person dies, they say it is Aids, But why do we forget the other illnesses
Oh God, oh God, Oh God. Only you...,Sickness, Oh where are you coming from?
We forget other illness and talk of Aids
You pregnant women, you can carry the virus, You can transmit it to your babies
They may be infected, although you do not know, Ladies, avoid getting pregnant
If you know you have the virus. It is bad to ignore this, as your child could die young
Youths, beware, Aids can attack you, You are the life force of society
If you let it kill you, who will lead the people?
Avoid dangerous sex. Students beware unknown partners.
Be careful who you take money from, it could get you in deeper trouble.
Avoid occasional partners, Youths, beware of drugs. If you inject drugs with needles
You can become infected, Don´t take drugs. It is very bad for your health
It will bring you out in spots, It will give you diarrhoea.
Avoid picking up just anybody, Think before you make love
Even if you desire someone, be careful. Think first
You gentlemen, citizens, Beware of prostitutes
Avoid multiple partners, And you, ladies, citizens
Take measures for your own protection
Workers, in workshops, factories and offices
When you are talking together, Do not neglect the subject
Time passes quickly, and every day, Death takes the victims of Aids
The best way to avoid death is to protect yourself, Oh God, we pray to you
Priests at mass, pastors in churches, rabbis in synagogues,
Imams in the mosque, you each have an obligation
A great obligation to society. Use your office to help
Preach what society must know about Aids
Do not hold back. It is your duty to tell the people that
Aids is a punishment from God; it resembles
Soddom and Gomorrah in ancient times
Ask God to deliver us from this sickness
Use your prayers to ask God the way to salvation
All my family have run away from me
Because I have Aids. I am left with only my mother,
Who has to suffer again all the sickness of my childhood
Teachers, instructors, professors, At school, in class, at home
If you have a free moment discuss it,It is part of your scholarly obligation
Teachers at school, college and in universities
The parents count on you tp educate their children.
Parents, don´t be shy, tell your children and the youth
All you can about Aids,Tell the whole world, tell everybody to beware
It is for you to fight against Aids
We are waiting for a vaccine. We wait for medicine, It will take a long time to come,
Maybe five, seven or ten years. Change your behaviour
Time is pressing, the sickness spreads fast
Doctors, be like Pasteur, Flemming, Curie and other
Geniusses of the last century, Now is your turn to conquer this plague which
Terrifies humanity and defies medicine,Don't waste time finding the medicine, wherever it is
Get this plague out of the human body, Doctors you know well how Aids is caught
Do not show the disease that you are afraid, Do not discourage the sick by your behaviour
The medical profession looks to you to find courage, To conquer this sickness
Doctors beware, the patient's file is secret, It concerns only the patient and close family
Don't talk su much that you create panic
Your duty is always sacred. Your profession is sacred, Your duty is to find a medicine
If there is a miracle it will come from you, Doctors be careful with needles,
Always wear gloves when you touch blood
Governments of rich countries, help the poor countries
Lead the way in the struggle against Aids, Don't sell them arms to kill,
But provide arms for the War against Aids
Brothers and sisters of the United Nations,
Between yourselves combine experience and, Spread understanding
Political authorities, use the radio, television and the press
To inform the people of the dangers of Aids
Tell us how to protect against and combat Aids,
We must all be mobilised against Aids
