EDMONTON, Alberta -- Medical Services

officials have approved the shipping of VScan HIV 1&2 rapid test kits to
certain Provincial police departments to start a mandatory testing program for
HIV in drug rehabilitation facilities. This testing will be done in the form
of a clinical trial.
It has become mandatory in the majority of the provinces in the People's
Republic of China that all individuals starting drug rehabilitation programs
and prisoners suspected of using drugs to be tested for HIV. The VScan HIV 1&2
