Famous quotes by Peter Piot:

"The world needs $10 billion a year to treat those with HIV in the poor nations, to make sure that the number of new infections is going down dramatically, and to take care of orphans,"

"It's one of the greatest injustices in the world today, ... Without massive treatment programs there won't be people left in the most affected countries to organize prevention programs, to teach in the schools, to organize the farms, to lead the country."

"It is quite clear that our current global efforts remain inadequate for an epidemic that is continuing to spiral out of control."

"All will depend on which position the leadership of the country takes,"

"There will be, for the first time, more people in their 60s and 70s than people in their 30s and 40s."

"[UNAIDS presents a more clinical argument.] We deal with the facts, ... And if you exclude any group from the process in response to AIDS, you can never build an effective response. That's the fact."

"In Botswana, for example, two years ago about 36 percent of adults were HIV-positive, ... Today this is 39 percent, nearly 40 percent of all adults."

"We are facing here a crisis that is unprecedented."

"AIDS is tightening its grip on southern Africa and threatening other regions of the world. Today's report warns regions experiencing newer HIV epidemics that they can either act now or pay later -- as Africa is now having to pay,"

"Twenty years [into] the AIDS epidemic ... 40 million people [are] living with HIV, 25 million have died, and if we continue with the current low level of response in many countries, we can be sure that in the next 20 years that close to 70 million people will die because of AIDS."
