Purdue Researchers To Share AIDS Detection Tech
(WEST LAFAYETTE) - Purdue University researchers will on March 12th travel to Nigeria to share information with healthcare officials about new low-cost medical testing technology for the detection of AIDS.
The university says African aids patients can't receive antiviral drugs to combat the disease unless they undergo specific tests that are currently very expensive. The new technology could potentially help millions of people get treatment for the disease.
It is estimated that nearly 30 million people in Africa have AIDS. Paul Robinson, a professor in Purdue's Schools of Biomedical Engineering and Veterinary Medicine, says a prototype device has been developed and may one day be manufactured in Indiana.
