Calypte Reports Positive Results of Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 Oral Fluid Rapid Test Evaluation at 3rd Annual South African AIDS Conference
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., July 16, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB: CBMC), medical diagnostic tests manufacturer for the rapid detection of antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) announced today the results and positive social implications of a field evaluation of its Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT (oral fluid) rapid test in the Republic of South Africa . These results were recently presented in a poster at the 3rd South African AIDS Conference in Durban last month. Posters are scientific research papers (in poster presentation form) accepted by a conference for the education of its attendees, typically displayed in a Poster Section on the conference floor.
The field evaluation was conducted on 600 clients of unknown HIV status at two busy Voluntary Counseling and Testing ("VCT") clinics in South Africa. The expected HIV prevalence rate was 30-40%; overall, 44% of the clients tested positive. The poster reported that "the results obtained on OMT were comparable with results on serum, and were statistically significant."
Study nurses responsible for the collection of samples described OMT (oral fluid test) collection as "easy to do", and preferred the non-invasive oral fluid collection method to the blood collection currently in use. Laboratory personnel found the test procedure simple to perform and results easy to interpret. "This assay may be a suitable alternative for VCT practices," was the poster's conclusion.
Roger Gale, Calypte's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We have long known the accuracy of the Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid test. The usage studies that are now being reported are focusing on the social aspects of such a test and we are pleased that there is strong sentiment for adopting oral fluid testing. While changing long-established blood collection practice to the OMT method is a process, we believe we are gaining momentum in making oral fluid an acceptable alternative to blood testing. The recent approval of our oral fluid test in India and the subsequent interest we are seeing from the government, military and private sectors is very encouraging in this regard."
Johannes Viljoen, MBChB, FC Path (SA) Viro, at the College of Health Sciences of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa and principal investigator presenting this poster noted, "We specialize with individuals living in rural settings of South Africa. In South Africa there are ongoing public health and media campaigns to increase public awareness and uptake of HIV testing in an attempt to curb the spread of the epidemic. We anticipate that offering a non-invasive rapid test may quite possibly result in an enhanced uptake of testing, mostly as a result of it being more acceptable and painless, even more so for children. In our study, the technique was clearly preferred over finger-sticks by the health care providers."
Dr. Pravi Moodley, Acting Head of the Department of Virology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and National Health Laboratory Service, Durban, South Africa and a co-author of the poster commented, "The sampling of oral fluid for HIV antibody rapid testing in resource constrained settings has advantages over the conventional finger-prick blood which is currently used for HIV antibody rapid testing. The obtaining of an oral fluid sample is much simpler since a community health worker requiring minimal training will be able to obtain the sample. It is also much safer since no sharps and sharps containers are necessary, obviating the need for intensive health and safety training which may unnecessarily consume financial and human resources in already resource constrained settings."
Further, our field evaluation of Calypte's Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT Rapid Test showed excellent correlation with blood samples," concluded Dr. Moodley.

Bin auch mal gespannt, wie versucht werden wird, zu pushen. Das macht die Aktie nur volatil und hilft evtl. den daytradern, nicht aber denen, die (wieder) Vertrauen in die Aktie fassen wollen. Lasst es doch bitte sein. Die Kurse werden ohnehin nur in den USA gemacht!

Singapore's Ministry of Health has announced it plans to expand the use of rapid HIV testing kits to more clinics in the country, Singapore's Today reports. Only three clinics nationwide provide HIV testing under an anonymous rapid-test kit pilot program. Standard HIV blood tests are conducted at hospitals and analyzed only at approved laboratories, according to Today. Although rapid-test kits, which cost about $50 each and take about 20 minutes, will be used at more clinics, anonymous testing will be available only at the three clinics participating in the pilot program.
According to a health ministry spokesperson, voluntary, anonymous HIV testing is gaining more acceptance in the country (Tay, Today, 7/27). About 700 people have received anonymous, rapid HIV tests, eight of whom have tested positive for HIV -- about twice the number for a similar-sized sample in general population blood testing, Channel NewsAsia reports. Most people who come forward for anonymous HIV testing are heterosexual and single. Nine out of 10 are younger than age 40, but the number of people older than age 40 has doubled during the past few months, Channel NewsAsia reports.
Tan Sze Wee -- CEO of Rockeby Biomed, which supplies the rapid HIV testing kits -- said that the people who come forward for anonymous HIV testing likely would engage in high-risk behaviors (Channel NewsAsia, 7/26). According to Today, the biggest barrier to voluntary testing is that physicians are required to provide the names of HIV-positive people to the health ministry. HIV testing is mandatory only for pregnant women and foreign workers applying for work permits.
Chua Thiam Eng, a general practitioner at Cambridge Clinic, said, "If we think about which situation we are better off with -- continue not testing at all, or testing anonymously with the hope that these people take responsibility for the results -- it is better to test." Lionel Lee, executive director of Action for AIDS, said that any testing program must have support mechanisms, such as counseling, in place. Lee added that AFA's policy is to "counsel those who test positive to go into the system (by informing the Communicable Disease Center), as this gives them better access to treatment and support" (Today, 7/27).
