Everyone wants a piece of the HIVAID pie. Today it dentists' turn to
gorge themselves.

----- Begin Quote -----

"Don't forget to floss" may soon be followed by "and don't forget to
wear a condom," as dentists and clinics have started to administer
state-of-the-art saliva tests that can detect HIV in minutes.

[...]

To test for the AIDS-causing virus, all Austin needs to do is swipe a
patient's upper and lower gums with a $15 OraQuick Advance kit.

Within 20 minutes, the swab will change colors to indicate a positive
or negative result — just like a home pregnancy test.

----- End Quote -----

OraQuack does not test for HIV. After more than twenty-five-years of
bumbling around in the dark HIV boffins still can't find the illusive
non-virus.
