       The National
            Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy
            and       Infectious Diseases announced last week that it
            will partner with the       International Partnership for
            Microbicides to help speed the development       of
            microbicide products to block HIV and other sexually
            transmitted       diseases. NIAID and IPM will share
            information and expertise through the       agreement. Plans
            call for regular interaction between leaders at the
            organizations, information-sharing conferences, and joint
            meetings with       companies and research institutes that
            are developing or testing       experimental microbicides.
