Microbicides refers to a range of products that share one common characteristic: the ability to prevent sexual transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections when applied topically. The exhibit features an adaptation of "In Her Mother's Shoes" a photo essay that tells the story of Martha, one of 11 million AIDS orphans in sub-Saharan Africa and also provides an overview of microbicide research and development and the global need for new prevention technologies.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT></P>
