Forget it Dowman!! Just like me these people have lost their butts buying TRIBY over the last two years and they are hurting and want their cash back and are not about to start bad mouthing the company now and not on this board because they would not want to drive away possible buyers as it is not in their best interest because they and I know it the stock price would have to go to three just so they can cover their buts on the losses on the warrants especially the As not to mention the stock. When a dissenter like you comes along you get your but kicked cause only hype here. Back in 96 I complained about all the unfulfilled promises , the stock was at $3, and I heard the same rhetoric supporting TRIBY. Now I believe the price has finally bottomed after 2 years. I think either KICKO works for TRIBYon this board or he is a piss poor investor.

Time 4 a truce perhaps? Looks like the glass is half full and empty. So TRIBY appears to have a product that meets FDA concerns about HIV 1 & 2, but not a license for HIV2 in the USA? They can market it internationally, but can't in the world's biggest market. There may be more aids cases in Africa, but is there the healthcare infrastructure & resourses for purchase & distribution? Will FDA reverse their stance? Does anybody really know/have definitive inside info they can post? FDA does not govern the world, but they do influence ("Good Healthcare Seal of Approval"?) Bottom line if posters who have commented on what TRIBY management themselves have said is that they don't expect an approval this year. While FDA approval of Uni-Gold HIV may not ultimately make a huge difference in the TRIBY bottom line, it makes a big difference of less knowledgable US investors. Lack of a catalyst is really hurting TRIBY now. EPS growth would also have provided a strong catalyst, but that will be flat rest of year. Now, is that a fair summation of a debate that has not exactly taken the high road. Can we bring some closure to this. The question about lack of meaningful disclosure on the part of TRIBY management has not been reasonably addressed. While there may be some valid concerns of keeping business secrets, this has unfortunately been used as a scapegoat. If your stock is going to trade on US markets, you need to come up to the standards of disclosure the US investors expect of publically traded companies.

To my knowledge... no one has a license to market a Rapid one step HIV test in the USA. The only test that comes close is SUDS made by Murex. This test has FDA approval for only HIV 1 requires a lab onsite and takes 30 min for a result. Tribys Uni-Gold is a next generation test and is capable of HIV - 1 & 2 and last I heard working on type o detection (may be completed), and requires 10 min . and no lab for a result. The CDC has put out a favorable report for these tests recently. Approval may come sooner then one thinks ? And don't forget Uni-Gold technology will and has provided a plateform for many different tests. The following site should inform all on the CDC's stance with Rapid HIV testing... cdc.gov
