Urgent Help Needed to obtain a CD4 count

[Guest guest]

Hi--

I have an HIV+ Nepali friend who needs to obtain a

CD4 count. This test is unavailable in Nepal.

If you can help with any of the following

questions, please do so.

Due to difficulties I am having with this

email address, please if possible send

replies ALSO to lalzephyr@....

1) What hospital(s) or clinic(s) in Delhi or Kolkata have CD4 testing

available?

2) What is the cost?

3) What is the procedure for a non-Indian? Are there barriers or problems

for a non-Indian to obtain this test?

4) Are there risks, legal or otherwise?

Any help is greatly appreciated. A group of us

are beginning to address how we can help Nepal

to make such diagnostics available at least in

Kathmandu in the near future. We hope also

this project will increase access to antivirals.

Ideas for developing such a project are

deeply appreciated.
