GARRISON, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Global Concepts, Ltd. (OTCBB:GCCP) today announced that on March 15, 2005, in light of recent medical recommendations, it will dramatically expand its sales efforts in Africa, South America and Europe.
Per story written by Associated Press writer, Linda A. Johnson:
"Experts Urge Routine HIV Tests For All" "Urging a major shift in U.S. policy, health experts are recommending that virtually all Americans be tested routinely for the AIDS virus, much as they are for cancer and other diseases. Since the early years of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, the government has recommended screening only in big cities, where AIDS rates are high, and among members of high-risk groups, such as gay men and drug addicts. But two large, federally funded studies found that the cost of routinely testing and treating nearly all adults would be outweighed by a reduction in new infections and the opportunity to start patients on drug cocktails early, when they work best."
The U.S. leads, and the rest of the world will follow, says Global Concepts. This worldwide epidemic is still on the rise, with over half the HIV-infected people not yet identified. AMD's HIV(1+2) Rapid Home Test Kit, while not available in the U.S., is the perfect solution for the rest of the world.
The company's focus will be on the Health Organizations of each country. At a cost of less than $4.00 each, the kits should be free to the populace, so that those infected can be identified and start to be treated.
As each country gets its approval to use the Kits, orders will build, shipments will start, and the company's small contribution to world health will be realized. Peru, the first country to buy, receive and distribute Kits, reports an immediate and positive response.
