The authors investigate the rites of passage belonging to the Tanzanian tradi-tion, especially the female initiation rite of Unyago, relating them with different forms of modern communication used by international NGOs and local government projects for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. The first objective is to understand the effectiveness of traditional cultural instruments to convey an educational mes-sage to the young Tanzanian women through modality that are able to induce a real trance. The second objective is to highlight, in the forms of contemporary communication, aimed to support the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS in the country, elements that remind, as true post-hypnotic signals, the suggestions received during the Unyago rite of passage.

Keywords: HIV/AIDS, rites of passage/initiation, pictographic techniques, trance, post-hypnotic suggestions, Tanzania.
