$5 for all GeneXpert tests!

MSF and partners protest medical test maker Cepheid and Danaher at International AIDS Conference

MSF protested at the International AIDS Conference held in Munich, alongside activists and civil society partners from the Time for $5 campaign.

A day after test maker Cepheid’s parent corporation Danaher reported $5.7 billion in sales in the 2nd quarter of 2024, we expected to meet Cepheid and Danaher to reiterate our ask to reduce the price of GeneXpert medical tests for HIV, TB, hepatitis C and other diseases, to no more than $5 each. Cepheid didn't show up at the conference.
