With Nigeria's successful containment of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), which seems to be assuming the status a global pandemic, attention should appropriately be channeled towards replicating similar feats in fighting the scourge of HIV/AIDS to a finish. Though the Ebola virus is a lot more virulent with a greater propensity towards wrecking more widespread havocs as being witnessed in Liberia, Sierra Leone and other spots within the West African subregion, the scourge of HIV/AIDS remains an undermining factor in Nigeria's quest to achieve one of the stipulated targets of the Millennium Development Goals of combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases by 2015. Suffice to mention that considerable effort has been put into reducing the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria by preventing cases of new HIV infection at the same time expanding the frontiers of care and treatment for those living with the virus. A need has now arisen to make the National Response to the HIV burden immune to the politics of today.
