Philly Bongoley Lutaaya (19 October 1951 – 15 December 1989) was a Ugandan musician who was the first prominent Ugandan to give a human face to HIV/AIDS.
He became a national hero because he was the first Ugandan to declare that he was HIV–positive. That was in 1988, when HIV still carried a lot of stigma.[1] Before dying of AIDS, Lutaaya spent his remaining time writing songs about his battle with AIDS, releasing his last album Alone and Frightened, including his famous song "Alone", influenced by Swedish duo Roxette's hit song It Must Have Been Loveas well as touring churches and schools throughout Uganda to spread a message of prevention and hope.
