Even if they don't intend to market this to the US I will do whatever I can to see that it is easily available here.

We don't need a cheap ELISA test here- it's already pretty cheap.

What we need is a cheap molecular test, which can detect HIV during early stage infection, when people who are HIV positive are 40 times more likely to transmit the disease.

No.

Innovation in practical use medical technologies is one of my personal passions and frequently on the receiving end of my philanthropy.
