In their own words
- Mrs. Cindy Gates-Dee, and the Dee family, sought to lobby public office holders regarding Health Canada issuance of a Notice to industry requiring the use of universal Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) for all donations to reduce the risk of HIV, HBV, and HCV. A Notice was subsequently issued by Health Canada requiring the use of NAT to reduce the risk of HIV, HBV, and HCV on February 25, 2025; In 2013, Health Canada made it mandatory to use HIV-1 NAT and HCV NAT assays to test cord blood donors and deceased tissue donors. At the time, this requirement was not extended to other types of donations, such as organs and fresh lymphohematopoietic cells, due to concerns about the accessibility of NAT assays licensed by Health Canada, as well as concerns about the rates of false positive test results. Over the past decade, the accessibility of licensed donor screening NAT assays for HIV-1, HBV, and HCV has increased substantially and the false positivity rate of the current generation of these tests has dropped considerably.
