Cytometry For Life Low-Cost CD4 Testing Device

This survey is being conducted by scientists from two academic institutions in the United States of America:

• Purdue University
• University of Illinois

The primary objectives of this survey are to identify the key features of an ideal CD4 measuring device for monitoring T cell levels in HIV/AIDS patients within countries with high incidence of HIV/AIDS.

This survey seeks information from you, as health care providers and professionals either working in Africa or working on Africa related projects, to determine

• Is there a need for lower-cost CD4 testing devices?
• What are the essential components and capabilities of such CD4 testing devices?

Ultimately, this survey will help the scientists understand:

• Current problems with CD4 testing
• How your healthcare facility/organization might benefit from significantly lowered costs associated with CD4 testing
• What specific components/capabilities of a CD4 device do you need to enhance your delivery of health care

Whenever possible, please add your own additional opinions/information in blank spaces provided.

Anonymous results of this survey will be available on "Cytometry for Life" website for all to use freely.
