PEPFAR at 20

Infinity 8 LLC (INF 8 LLC)  At A Glance

Infinity 8 LLC (INF 8 LLC) of Delaware is the sole owner  for an FDA-approved 

Multi-function Collecting Device for Body Fluids (MCDBF). This product collects menstrual blood from patients for cytology and clinical analysis. It has U.S. FDA approval as a collection device. 

It is a painless, self-administered device, which supports tests with a 98% accuracy rating for HIV/AIDS and for any other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) that can be detected with a blood assay. It can also replace the current scraping sample procedure used for PAP smear tests helping women worldwide.    

Successful treatment of many diseases, including HIV/AIDS, Cervical Cancer relies on early detection. Worldwide, very few women submit themselves to STDs tests (STIs Test), despite the fact that these infections increase the risk to women of contracting HIV/AIDS, Cervical cancers. INF 8 provides women the opportunity to test themselves for many opportunistic diseases, thus dramatically expanding medical care coverage in impoverished, remote or field environments, including HPV. 

This non-toxic, tampon-like device offers a non-invasive collection device that is:

• Used at a woman’s convenience in the privacy of her own home to test for a wide variety of diseases that can be detected through a blood assay, without requiring the use of needles

• An aid encouraging women to have themselves tested more frequently for diseases such as cervical cancer, HPV, HIV/AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)(STIs) and other opportunistic diseases as well as hepatitis, TB, malaria, thyroid and collagen disorders.

• An alternative to a doctor or lab visit for a Pap smear or blood draw, offering  benefits and economies related to savings on clinical visits in both the developed and developing world.

• Empowering women by providing a home-sample collection technology compatible with existing lab protocols using current liquid based collection platforms.

• Valuable in widespread epidemiological studies to capture information on a variety of diseases, as one sample can be used for several tests.

• Ideal in developing countries where issues of access to medical care, complications from contaminated needles, and cultural taboos related to gynecological services compromise women’s health.

• Affirming in public perception of progressive leadership in women’s health and privacy concerns and self empowerment.

Infinity 8 offers a dynamic way to get the attention of women who want to have more "control" over their health.

Not since the introduction of the birth control pill has there been a women’s healthcare product that so powerfully affirms their rights to privacy and convenience for a non-invasive, painless and non-humiliating procedure. Infinity 8 believes this home collection system will revolutionize preventative medicine capabilities for women worldwide.
