Shadow, Just when you thought it could not get any worse... From LA Times Nov 22, 1999: The FDA warns against HIV tests sold via web The FDA cautioned that many home test kits that test for HIV are inaccurate and users are risking their lives. One one kit has been FDA approved: The Home Access Health Corp kit which you need to send your blood sample to a lab for testing. The FDA said that several companies are offering kits sold over the web offering results in as little as 15 minutes. A spokesman for the FDA said it ordered serveral kits and tested them with HIV+ blood samples. All the kits indicated that no virus was present. I have often wondered if that one kit sold out of the Cayman Islands was the SDS kit. At any rate, none of this is good news for anyone... -John
