The Special Envoy of the Secretary General of the United Nations for HIV/AIDS in Africa, Stephen Lewis says while  scientists are doing their utmost  to address HIV/AIDS, politicians have shown little  commitment. Proof of this is the struggle to raise the 10 billion dollars needed for the  United Nations Global Fund on AIDS, TB and Malaria to save the lives of more than 2 million Africans.  Only two billion dollars of  the ten billion dollar target has been raised.
