“Abbott and BD need to urgently restore production of the point-of-care CD4 testing equipment, and governments should act fast to expand the use of CD4 testing in-country to save lives from advanced HIV disease.” “Abbott and BD’s decision to stop making critical point-of-care testing equipment for HIV is going to have a major negative impact on the lives of people with advanced HIV,” said Stijn Deborggraeve, Diagnostics Advisor, MSF Access Campaign. It’s therefore vital that the WHO guidelines clarify that there is still a critical role for point-of-care CD4 tests so that people living with HIV can receive the right package of care as soon as possible.”Īpproximately 8 million CD4 tests are needed annually in LMICs: Abbott’s and BD’s decisions to stop producing CD4 testing devices will significantly impact the provision of care to people with HIV in low-resource settings, including in HIV programmes run by MSF. “Point-of-care CD4 tests are a particularly crucial diagnostic tool in the communities where we work, as we can bring the tests to people to diagnose advanced HIV disease. “We rely on CD4 testing to diagnose advanced HIV disease in people living with HIV: it’s an essential and often lifesaving step toward providing each person in our care with the appropriate tools to manage their disease,” said Dr Fabien Kabongo, Medical Coordinator for MSF in Conakry, Guinea. Point-of-care CD4 devices are battery-powered equipment or disposable rapid tests that require minimal or no laboratory infrastructure, making them especially useful in decentralised and low-resource settings. In public, Facebook has touted the resources it has dedicated to tackling Covid-19 and vaccine misinformation, even scolding US President Joe Biden for his harsh criticism of the companys. CD4 tests can be carried out through large, laboratory-based devices or point-of-care devices. Up to 30% of people beginning HIV treatment are diagnosed with advanced HIV disease, which requires immediate and specific medical care as the risk of death is high. CD4 tests count the number of CD4 cells in a blood sample: a low CD4 cell count indicates advanced HIV disease. HIV infects and destroys CD4 cells, which are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the human immune system. In addition, we encourage the WHO to provide updated and explicit guidelines about the critical role of point-of-care CD4 testing. The privacy declaration is worthless and does not mean anything.To safeguard access to lifesaving CD4 testing, MSF called on Abbott and BD to immediately reverse their decision to stop the production of CD4 equipment or transfer the technology to a manufacturer in a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) and support local production.

"Under our terms ( ), you grant Facebook permission to use, distribute, and share the things you post, subject to the terms and applicable privacy settings."īrad Shear, a Washington-area attorney and blogger who is an expert on social media, said the message was "misleading and not true." He said that when you agree to Facebook's terms of use you provide Facebook a "non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any content you post. You do not need to make any declarations about copyright issues since the law already protects you. "We have noticed some statements that suggest otherwise and we wanted to take a moment to remind you of the facts - when you post things like photos to Facebook, we do not own them," Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said in a statement. Here's the truth: Facebook doesn't own your media and there is no such thing as the Berner Convention. It's a frightful message and those worried that Facebook will own their photos or other media are posting it - unaware that it is a hoax. It encourages people to copy and paste the text and post it on their own walls if they want to be placed "under protection of copyright laws." The message has been making the rounds on the social network. You may have seen that very message pop up - perhaps time and time again - in your Facebook feed.
