Brazil nationalizes test that detects AIDS in 15 minutes
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
The Fiocruz (Foundation Oswaldo Cruz) yesterday announced the conclusion of the process of nationalization of a test that allows to detect the presence of the HIV in only 15 minutes.

Developed for the North American laboratory Chembio, the technology started to be transferred to Brazil in 2004 --the Fiocruz will be able, now, to manufacture the test, that will cost 2,60 US$ each one. In the price, he is enclosed the payment of royalties for the Chembio. Previously, the government spent US$ 5 for test.

According to manager of development of reagents for diagnosis of the unit of Bio-Manguinhos, Antonio Gomes Ferreira, the conventional tests depend on the sending of the sample of blood for a laboratory, what it makes it difficult the diagnosis in remote places.

With the test now nationalized, a blood drop is enough for an efficient diagnosis 99%, disclosed in the place of the collection in a period of 10 the 15 minutes. In Brazil, the method already is spread out in maternities, to prevent the transmission of mother for son in the childbirths where the gestante was not submitted to the test of HIV in the prenatal one.

Now, the Health department wants to also expand its use for the CTAs (Centers of Testagem and Aconselhamento in DST/Aids). In 2009, 3,3 million kits of the tests will be directed to the units of health.

Blacksmith says that the dissemination of the product will help in the precocious diagnosis of the illness, what it increases the supervened one. For the president of the Fiocruz, Pablo Buss, the domain of the technology will facilitate the development of fast tests for other illnesses, as leishmaniose and leptospirose.

Moreover, the institution already is developing, with the Chembio, a fast test for confirmation of the diagnosis of the HIV --the evidence is necessary in the cases of the illness. If it will have its proven effectiveness, will be the first confirmatory test of the world to excuse laboratorial infrastructure.

The Fiocruz also announced new features in the development of anti-retrovirais, used in the treatment. In the first semester of 2009, the institution will start to supply to Efavirenz 600 mg, fruit of the first obligatory licensing of the country, and will enter with the order of register for a pill that combines three active principles.

Beyond these formularizations for adult use, the unit of Farmanguinhos will work in the development of infantile versions of the two remedies. The institution already waits the register of the first anti-retroviral for children of the country.

More examinations

the fast test already contributed so that more people if submit to the examination of the HIV, says the director of the National Program of DST and AIDS, Mariângela Simão. According to it, the increase of offers of this examination is one of the explanations for the result of a survey made for the Health department with 2008 data, that sample that about 40% of the population with age between 15 and 54 years already made the test anti-HIV at least a time. In 2004, the index was of 28%. The data had been presented yesterday by the minister of the Health, Jose Extemporaneous Gomes, in the World-wide Day of Fight against the AIDS, in Brasilia.

They is esteem that about 255 a thousand people in the country they are infectadas by the HIV and not yet if they have tested. “What it worries it is that the testagem is very intent still in the pregnant. It is necessary expandiz it ", said Simão.
