Policies on AIDS battle right: official

Executive director of UNAIDS Peter Piot said China has made tremendous progress in HIV/AIDS prevention and control, but much still remains to be done in the implementation of its polices in all provinces.

"The policies adopted at the central level are exactly what we need to deal with HIV/AIDS, but implementation in every province is still a problem," Piot told a conference yesterday at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

He said the problems include availability of the latest medicines, and treating every one at high risk.
