What has been investigated is the way sayings are used to guide the community about issues related to AIDS in the community. The target sampling method was used to find study areas and respondents. Three wards were selected in (Rungwe district in the Mbeya region, Tanzania. The respondents were found in Kandete (Mwela village), Luteba (Isale village) and Mpombo (Lusanje village) wards. The sample of defendants was representative of all groups in the selected wards. A review of the documents used to clarify and verify the primary data were found through electronic and library means. The analysis and discussion of the data accessible was guided by Sociological theory. The investigated results were presented descriptively. The results show that sayings have a great role to guide the community through building consciousness against the AIDS virus. Therefore, the article concludes that it is the responsibility of every member of a specific society to be well-informed about AIDS.
