We do the national HIV testing day on June 27 each year now. We get free kits from bioLytical, the company that makes the instant testing kits. We are trying to bring them out to communities that don't use instant testing, but only use blood draw. Point-of-care testing is extremely important with other technologies, like dry blood spots. The more diverse offerings you have for testing, the more people will get tested. It's the Hygrade method; the more you produce, the more people will eat them, whatever.
I think that's the best route to go about it, but our market value is not there for these companies in Canada. We have to have a more express route with the other countries for approving these new methods that are based on science, rather than just our own, because the cost is supposedly prohibitive.
We did point-of-care testing in the Maritimes. We were told by PHAC that we were bringing point-of-care testing kits to the Maritimes, almost as a guerrilla thing. I told them that was not the case. We were doing it with private clinics in New Brunswick that would be testing point of care. We did 37 point-of-care testings in Cape Breton, which had never done it, but since then, Nova Scotia has adopted point-of-care testing, so we're doing something right. Let's continue down that path.
