From AP, via the San Francisco Chronicle:
Chinese health officials on Monday plan to announce an AIDS cooperation partnership with a U.S. institute, a measure that takes aim at combating what health officials fear will be a tenfold surge in HIV infection in China over the next five years.
The partnership between the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the University of Maryland’s Institute of Human Virology ” founded by one of the co-discoverers of the virus ” covers collaboration on clinical trials, technical assistance and development of better and faster tests and vaccines, institute officials said.
