| Tiivistelmä: | In 1985, E.J. Millenson, 30 years old and flush with cash after some successful telecommunications deals, was looking for a new venture. The idea he settled on seemed simple enough, and he thought it would advance public health: a home-based test kit for HIV. Perhaps he was just ahead of his time. As the first home test for a fatal disease, the idea was immediately controversial. AIDS activists opposed it. So did the American Medical Assn. Stonewalled by the Food and Drug Administration in his fight to get the test approved, he eventually sold his company to Johnson and Johnson. |
