Hi Chris,

BL> Its makers claim it is "almost" as accurate as the more
BL> time-consuming blood tests conducted by medical professionals.
BL> Like a number of home pregnancy tests, the saliva swab turns
BL> blue when test chemicals react to HIV anti-bodies..."

BL>  It's interesting that they find HIV in saliva, isn't it? I
BL> thought it was suppoosed to be a blood-only virus.

BV> Yeah, I had noticed that too. So much for it not being
BV> possible to transfer via non-blood contact ? I wonder how ling
BV> it will take for the _real_ world to wake up to the reality ?

CR> The above para says "reacts to HIV anti-bodies", if you read it
CR> carefully. It does not say that there is HIV virus in the saliva.

Boing! Give that boy a cigar :)

Regards, Brenton
