		Peter Piot: As I have said often, the lack of access to lifesaving HIV treatment in the regions where they are needed most is a scandal - and redressing that lack is one of the great moral causes of our time.
		Peter Piot: Your point is a very good one - and is a matter which has been considered in depth and frequently by the UN Security Council since its first history-making debate on AIDS in January 2000.
		Peter Piot: One of the basic things we have learnt in nearly quarter of a century of the epidemic is that AIDS is everywhere.

	International Controversies in HIV Control - Posting 49
		Piot, a 49-year-old Belgian, is executive director of the United Nations AIDS Program, the chief coordinator of the global war on AIDS.
		The Piots recalled how their lives unexpectedly changed directions when, at a scientific meeting in Paris in 1976, a notice was flashed on a screen asking Dr. Piot to make an emergency call to Belgian officials.
		Piot said he never dreamed that AIDS would become "the runaway epidemic" that it is today in much of the world.

		Peter Piot was appointed Executive Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and Assistant-Secretary-General of the United Nations in December 1994.
		PETER PIOT: The UNAIDS Secretariat is forming a Consortium on Resource Tracking which will bring together a wide group of experts interested in collecting data on financial resource flows for AIDS.
		PETER PIOT: In AIDS as elsewhere, program managers are often little more than data processors for donors, spending obscene amounts of time trying to satisfy dozens of duplicative reporting requirements, and hosting repetitive review missions month after month.

	Talk Transcript: Peter Piot on AIDS - Newsweek Health - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Peter Piot, the director of UNAIDS, the United Nations' Joint Program on HIV/AIDS, is a doctor and scientist whose life offers a window into both questions.
		Peter Piot: Governments can lead by example, demonstrating that AIDS is a medical condition that requires care and treatment, as well as compassion and support for the indivduals living with and affected by the disease.
		Peter Piot: Countries in which HIV treatment is broadly available, such as the US and the European Union nations, face the particular challenge of counting complacency about AIDS.

	AIDS in the Developing World: An Interview With Peter Piot
		In an interview with AIDS Clinical Care's Matthew O'Rourke, Peter Piot--executive director of UNAIDS and an assistant secretary-general of the United Nations--discussed the AIDS epidemic in developing countries.
		According to Piot, the Caribbean is the second most affected region, although the number of infections in Asia--particularly in India, which has recorded some 4 million HIV cases--also continues to grow.
		Piot also discussed AIDS vaccines and microbicides, and he stressed that AIDS "remains above all a global problem." The epidemic has not been resolved, and he noted that people in the developing world have a particularly dire need for more information about HIV and AIDS.

		Piot: Such treatments are often country-specific; they are being used in one country but not elsewhere, or nobody has heard of the treatment outside of a country.
		Piot: The first issue is awareness that there is a very important international impact of this epidemic.
		Piot: I believe that it is the vision of Arnaud Marty-Lavauzelle, the chairman of AIDES and also a member of the governing board of UNAIDS, that made this possible.

		Piot: I agree with that, for antiretroviral therapy.
		Piot: Last year was a turning point, when AIDS activists in the U.S., the Congressional Black Caucus, and others were able to improve and increase the support for international AIDS.

	HIV / AIDS
		These were some of the main points raised by the UNAIDS Executive Director Peter Piot, speaking at World Bank headquarters on Thursday.
		But money alone will solve little, said Piot, who called weak capacityâ”the fault of the donor communityâ”"one of the most crippling legacies of the past 20 years of AIDS efforts." The result is an unparalleled crisis of human resources, one that many private firms have recognized and taken steps to protect their assets.
		AIDS, says Piot, has rewritten the rules: In a vicious cycle, AIDS kills young adults who are the keystone of developing societies, surviving children are less likely to be in school, well-nourished, or properly socialized, making them vulnerable to the disease.

	Moves to Contain AIDS Failing
		Piot pointed to several factors behind the spread of the infection.
		In Africa, he said, a primary factor was ”inter-generational sex” that was often ”not consensual, in all its variations.” That meant that in southern Africa the first sexual experience of a girl was often with a man five to 15 years older than her.
		The spread of HIV is not necessarily related to poverty; in Botswana, one of the more prosperous countries in southern Africa 40 percent of adults are HIV positive.

		The executive director of UNAIDS since its creation in 1995, Dr. Peter Piot saw some of the first known AIDS cases in Zaire in the late 1970s.
		All these people are connected with each other by definition, because they had sex with each other; they shared needles; they got a blood transfusion from someone who got it, or their mother had it.
		There are no other ways of transmission." Here, Piot talks about why AIDS needs to be at the top of leaders' political agendas; why prevention programs have to involve both abstinence approaches and condoms; and the future of the epidemic in the so-called "next wave" countries -- especially Russia and Eastern Europe.
