Youth leader and popular motivational speaker Peter Bawuah has issued a strong caution to young people across the country as Ghana records worrying increases in HIV infections.
In a message posted on his verified Facebook page, the Harvard Business School trained speaker expressed deep concern over what he described as an “alarming” rise in HIV and AIDS cases nationwide.
His post, which has since attracted thousands of reactions and comments, carried a blunt warning:
“HIV Aids in Ghana is becoming alarming. Please guide your feelings with wisdom and be vigilant. Two minutes sex can destroy your future plans.”
The post has sparked widespread conversation online, with many followers applauding him for boldly addressing a sensitive issue that continues to affect young people.
Health experts have consistently cautioned that new HIV infections among young adults are on the rise, a trend many believe is linked to risky sexual behavior, misinformation, and social pressures.

Within hours, the post had garnered close to 2,000 reactions, hundreds of comments, and nearly 100 shares, reflecting the urgency and relevance of the topic.
Supporters encouraged him to continue speaking boldly, with one follower commenting:
“Say it and say it again.”
Peter Bawuah urged the youth to prioritize their health and future aspirations over momentary temptations, stressing that a single reckless act could derail years of hard work and ambition.
His message adds to ongoing national conversations encouraging young people to get tested, practice safe sex, and make responsible life choices.
