The pitches sound really interesting together

The pitches sound really interesting together. It was weird because no matter how slow or fast I set the tempo, the songs always came out sounding good. The music is complex and strange, but also has an eerie, spooky kind of vibe to it," Pajak said.

University of Georgia grad student Alexandra Pajak has composed a unique and strange CD dubbed "Sounds of HIV."

Pajak hopes her unique way of breaking down the AIDS virus comes off as a "socially minded, human take on HIV." She insists it's not meant to offend those affected by HIV in any way, shape or form.

In fact, a portion of the proceeds from her trippy, psychedelic-sounding CD are being donated to the Emory Vaccine Center in Atlanta specifically to fund AIDS research.

Carl Schmid from The AIDS Institute told AOL News that Pajak's project is not in the least offensive. In fact, because it's so unusual, he said it could really help garner more attention toward HIV awareness.

"Anything to raise awareness and educate the public about AIDS is a good thing. By connecting AIDS to music, the album could even help reduce the stigma associated with the disease," Schmid said. "I've never heard of anything quite like this. It's very interesting."

Pajak said she's already gotten feedback on the tunes from a few people infected with HIV and so far, so good.

"A man in Russia wrote to me about it and said he found it very inspiring. He said he was planning on posting the songs on an HIV support website. Another man told me that because the songs are so complex, they reflect his complicated experience with HIV," she said. "A professor also asked to use the CD in his classes to show students a different interpretation of the virus."

Pajak said she has no plans to add lyrics to her songs because that would interfere with the accuracy of the DNA music.

Out of respect for science, and those who have HIV, she said she won't be singing on the album anytime soon.

For now, listeners can enjoy the classical instrumentals and the fact that for once, this particular news about HIV/AIDS is actually music to one's ears.
