I am sure that this year will be remembered as one of the most significant in the history of the epidemic. For the first time, the global perspective joins care for those infected to the task of ensuring those not infected remain so. It is a year when resources are coming, and when political leadership is at unprecedented levels. The UN General Assembly Special Session on AIDS will be one of its high points.

Brazilian AIDS Congress Keynote Address, Recife, Brazil 30 August 2004 by Peter Piot UNAIDS Executive Director
04 août 2006
So I’ve come here to discuss and to learn how you are tackling the new challenges. How you are tackling also the fight against AIDS in a context where there is still a lot of inequality, inequity in society. And I’ve come also to discuss how Brazil and UNAIDS can intensify our international collaboration - where Brazil is emerging as a country that has a lot to offer – not only on AIDS – to other developing countries and I’m not only thinking of other Lusophone countries.

Today, drug injecting with contaminated equipment is the major HIV transmission mode in many countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America, and is also driving HIV transmission in North Africa and the Middle East. About 10% of all new infections worldwide stem from injection drug use. If Africa is not included in the statistics this figure rises to 30% of all new infections.
