Star Metro - MedMira Inc. and Lovell Announce Partnership to Increase Access to Reveal(R) G4 HIV-1/2 rapid test for VA, Department of Defense

The Reveal® G4 HIV-1/2 antibody rapid test (Reveal® G4 HIV) is the world's fastest HIV rapid test. Based on MedMira's patented Rapid Vertical Flow Technology, the Reveal® G4 HIV offers a simple testing solution with immediate results which do not fade away. Therefore, offering the best rapid testing solution which is FDA approved since 2004. The Reveal® G4 HIV is offered in three convenient formats (Point-of-Care finger-stick whole blood, Laboratory format Serum/Plasma and venipuncture whole blood) to accommodate any health care setting without the need for timing devices. With its unique built-in procedural and reagent control line, an operator can be assured that each test has been performed correctly.

A unique feature of MedMira's patented technology is the elimination of the prozone (hook) effect, a known common issue in traditional serological tests, where a high concentration of antibodies can lead to false-negative results. MedMira's technology avoids this by ensuring antibody binding occurs in a controlled, localized environment, while excess antibodies are washed away. The result is a highly accurate test that maintains reliability across a wide range of antibody levels.

As MedMira's SDVOSB Vendor, Lovell is excited to bring this product to federal healthcare providers. MedMira is now available through the Department of Veterans Affairs' Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), GSA Advantage, the Defense Logistics Agency's Electronic Catalog (ECAT), and the Department of Defense's Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA). Listing products on contract vehicles with Lovell streamlines the acquisition process while helping government agencies meet their SDVOSB procurement goals.

"We're proud to partner with MedMira to bring an advanced rapid testing solution to federal healthcare providers. The speed and reliability of their Reveal® G4 platform supports clinicians in making timely decisions and improves the care experience for our veterans," said Chris Lovell, Major, USMC (Ret.), CEO of Lovell Government Services.

"MedMira is proud to partner with Lovell Government Services, SDVOSB, to support Federal procurement needs through their eCAT, GSA, and VA FSS contract vehicles," said Nicole Crenshaw, VP of Commercial Operations at MedMira. "This strategic partnership provides us with the critical reach into key government markets, enabling greater access to our innovative diagnostic solutions where they're needed most."
