What We Do: Genetic Testing for HIV / AIDS Progression

HIVmirror™ is a revolutionary scientific test based on the results of National Institute of Health-funded research studies. HIVmirror™ tests your DNA for CCR5-Delta 32 and CCR2-64I genes, the two genes that are well-known in the scientific community that may slow down the process in which HIV becomes AIDS. Until now, the test for these genes was only available to participants in research studies. Now, it is available to you in the privacy of your own home. For just $99.

The Science of CCR5 Delta 32 and HIV

The process of HIV infecting our CD4 cells can be thought of as an intruder trying to enter your home. HIV requires a receptor a "doorway" to gain entry into our CD4 cells. It must bind receptors on the surface of our cells or open the "locks" to gain entry. The first "lock" is opened by binding to the CD4 cell receptor on our white blood cells. It then needs to open a second "lock" in order to open the "door" to CD4 cells and infect them. This second "lock" or receptor is called CCR5 (Chemokine receptor 5). Some people have been found to have mutations in the CCR5 gene that codes for this receptor. This mutated gene is called CCR5 delta 32. The CCR5 delta 32 mutation is missing 32 base pairs or pieces of genetic code. This mutation alters the structure of the receptor so HIV cannot efficiently open the "lock" and enter the cell. Another mutation that has significant effect on HIV disease progression is found in the CCR2 gene.

Until now, the test for these genes was only available to participants in research studies. Now, it is available to you in the privacy of your own home. See why you should take this test.
