Manufacture and Validation of Rapid Point of Care CD4 Testing in India

The purpose of the project is to catalyse global market access to CD4 testing in developing countries burdened with HIV, through the use of an appropriate low cost, instrument free, point of care CD4 test.  It is expected that this will increase the rate of ART initiation and retention of patients in health care. The project focuses on interventions to achieve successful field evaluations of the Test, together with regulatory approvals, the scale-up of manufacturing capacity, distribution and availability of the Test in low and middle income countries
