For over two decades Cavidi has been dedicated to increasing access to HIV viral load monitoring for all HIV-positive patients. Our ExaVir™ Load test accomplishes this by bringing national reference lab quality to the nearpatient environment. Independent studies confirm that ExaVir Load is as accurate as gold standard RNA-based tests yet is capable of running in virtually any lab. In fact, ExaVir Load is proven to perform at the District Hospital level where the need is greatest.
To date, over 400,000 ExaVir Load tests have been run backed by governments and major global NGOs in more than 25 countries. But there is still much work to be done. Cavidi is committed to continued innovation in this area in support of our conviction that the time for HIV viral load testing is now
