Company Summary

Privail is a for-profit company developing point-of-care diagnostics for the early detection and monitoring of infectious diseases, with an initial focus on HIV. Unlike current diagnostic methods, Privail's proprietary technology directly detects the virus itself and is available in a simple, low-cost and portable device. By getting tested sooner, patients can receive earlier and more effective treatment and reduce the spread of disease.
