The campaign was called the Ugandan Information, Education and Communication Campaign (IEC) or the Health Education Campaign, and Adjoa Amana was its driving force between 1987 and 1990. She became aware that the prominent Ugandan singer Philly Lutaaya had AIDS. This was used in the communication campaign to make sure "AIDS had a face". Her and Lutaayas work was covered in the TV program "FRONTLINE / AIDS Quarterly Special Report; Born in Africa".
