B: La Jolla Diagnostics' Subsidiary DiagnosTech Inc. Products Used in South African HIV Tests

LA JOLLA, Calif., Dec 8, 1999 (BW HealthWire) -- La Jolla Diagnostics
Inc. (OTCBB:LAJD), announced today that its subsidiary DiagnosTech's
rapid diagnostic test for HIV Types 1&2 is now available nationally to
the entire South African public via pharmacies.

The test is being packaged and distributed by Alton Health
International, a prominent South African firm.

Alton Health has begun a national advertising campaign to announce the
over the counter availability of the test throughout South Africa.
DiagnosTech's specially designed rapid diagnostic test for HIV is
particularly suited for the environmental conditions found in Africa,
because it is easy to use, and maintains its sensitivity even when
subjected to extreme changes in temperature and humidity.

According to a joint United Nations, World Health Organization report,
over 34 million people worldwide are infected with HIV. Two thirds of
them are in Sub-Saharan Africa, including 70% of the new cases reported
in 1998. The majority of the newly infected are young people under the
age of 24.

La Jolla Diagnostics is an emerging company engaged in the development
and marketing of state-of-the-art diagnostic tests (including a
proprietary test for active tuberculosis), health care products and
dietary supplements. The healthcare and dietary supplement products are
formulated using proprietary technology.
