Calypte's Urine Based HIV Test Receives Approval... (2)
-------------------------------------------------------
 
Good news to know about the availability of this urine-based HIV 
test. Interesting as well to know that it has been approved by a 
Kenyan institution (but what about the Kenyan drug regulatory au-
thorities?).
 
But above all surprised to have this kind of direct mail adver-
tising directly and without any comments posted by the AFRO-NETS 
network.
 
There seems to be risks of overlapping of categories, as more and 
more often - because of the potential profitability of the HIV-
Aids market, many corporations use scientific channels to convey 
corporate advertising, confusing the issue.

[From the Moderator: Patrice is right, the information shouldn't 
have gone in its original form to the network but rather as a no-
tice about the fact that a urine-based test is available and has 
been approved in Kenya. D.N. Mod.]
