Issue

CuraHerbDistributor's kits carry the "Home Aware" brand and have not been evaluated by Health Canada for safety and effectiveness. Accordingly, these kits may provide Canadians with false test results, such as a failure to indicate HIV in an infected individual, or indicate HIV when none is present. In addition, CuraHerbDistributor is also attempting to sell online a number of other test kits under the "Home Aware" brand. Health Canada has not licenced "Home Aware" tests kits for any of the following conditions indicated on the website, namely syphilis, trichomonas vaginalis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis (B/C) or herpes simplex.

What you should do

  • Consult your healthcare practitioner if you have used any home-use test kits sold via the curaherbdistributor.com website or under the "Home Aware" brand and are concerned about your health.
  • Report any complaints related to test kits sold via the curaherbdistributor.com website or under the "Home Aware" brand to Health Canada (see below).
