PAR, as a result of the CDC testing TRIBY's rapid HIV product among others and finding the accuracy of its results ... they have reversed their position on using rapid tests in high HIV area clinics ... that has already been published ... they did this to reduce the cost to the taxpayer who was paying for the much more expensive laboratory test which took 2-3 weeks for results ... the patients often never came back for the results and the money is wasted ... they now recommend using the rapid test and when a positive results, do the counseling immediately with additional lab testing to follow... the CDC test results are their property if you are interested call them yourself ... I already have 1-800-342-2437 (national AIDS hotline) Dr. Bernie Branson 1-404-639-6166 (he ran the testing)
