IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 5, 2017) - Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTC PINK: CBIS), a U.S. company specializing in cannabis formulation-based drug development, is pleased to announce its subsidiary Cannabis Science Europe GmbH (CBIS EU) has acquired 74.9% of a German Bio Med Corporation "Jinvator Bio Med GmbH" (Jinvator), the creator of an ultra-sensitive rapid HIV/AIDS test based on nano-particle technology for the detection of HIV in the early stage of infection.

CBIS EU and Jinvator have agreed to immediately refine, develop, and bring the nanoGold test to market -- a product that expedites early HIV-testing without the risk of diagnostic gaps. Both Companies will mutually share the development of intellectual property and innovative advancements of bringing the technology to consumers now.

HIV/AIDS is one of the most severe epidemics of modern times, affecting 34 million patients globally. The prospect of being cured increases with early detection. Recent studies have shown that newborns, when timely diagnosed, can be cured from HIV/AIDS. Despite current tests being able to detect HIV within three months of infection with a 99% chance, the 1% uncertainty factor still remains. The nanoGold test aims to eliminate that risk by using nanotechnology to safely diagnose HIV within one week of infection. The highly-sensitive nanoGold test has the capability to detect a single virus in blood or saliva with a 10,000-fold dilution. The test is also suitable for diagnosing HIV in newborn babies.

"There is an enormous market for the nanoGold test, ranging from the general public, to diagnostic laboratories, blood banks, and hospitals. As an original and unrivaled testing kit designed for convenience and quick diagnosis, there is opportunity for the product to be well-received globally. In addition, the nanoGold test is produced to be more cost-effective for the consumer, in contrast to other related products on the market. Moreover, it can be performed and evaluated easily without technical aids," stated Jinvator President, Dr. R. S. Bhardwaj.
