GARRISON, N.Y., Jan. 24, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Global Concepts, Ltd (OTCBB:GCCP) announced today that its Advance Medical Diagnostics (AMD) subsidiary had filled its first purchase order for HIV (1+2) Rapid Home Test Kits. The shipment of kits is on the way to AMD's exclusive distributor in Peru, the first country to give the HIV Home Test Kit formal government approval to import and sell.
We hope this paves the way for other countries to do their necessary testing so that this inexpensive and much needed device can do its small part to help stem the worldwide HIV and AIDS epidemic.
In addition, AMD has signed Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreements with companies in two other countries, the first step in their becoming distributors of our HIV (1+2) Rapid Home Test Kit. These countries are Slovenia and Israel. They will both now proceed to expedite their governments approval process so they can start importing Kits.
Michael Gilbert, Advance Medical's President had this comment: "We are making sales inroads throughout the world, and we continue to believe that our product, the HIV (1+2) Rapid Test Kit, is the necessary first step in combating this dreaded disease. Recognition, the knowledge of who has the virus, allows the medical authorities to start treatment. No one should be denied this knowledge -- a $3.00 test kit must be made available to everyone."
