This is getting beyond a joke now.
The company and this product were featured on Channel 5 news last night-great free advertising for them which gave them an opportunity to legitimise the product nicely (at least in Joe publics eyes)!!
Does the RCPath/ACB intend to challenge the media about the validity of this test and highlight that more comprehensive testing (with appropriate advice/counselling) is available free via their GP?
