Peter Piot, the Executive Director of UNAIDS for the past 13 years, is stepping down at the end of this year. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon described Piot as “a tireless leader who has been in the vanguard of the response to AIDS since the earliest days of the epidemic.” A replacement has not been announced.
