Children With AIDS Have to Fend for Themselves, U.N. Special Envoy Lewis
Stephen Lewis, U.N. Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, says that "when the parents are gone, the values and knowledge that shift from generation to generation are gone, and the large numbers of kids in the world of AIDS have to sort out for themselves, without anchors, how the world works." He adds that across Africa "there are kids who cannot go to school because they cannot afford the school fees" and that even the majority of AIDS programs have decided that "children are expendable" and will not be treated.

Rosenfield explains that the U.S. government must support the World Health Organization's plans to provide cheaper, more effective generic drugs.
