("CDI") has received a $708,050 purchase order from Bio-Manguinhos to supply HIV 1/2 Stat-Pak components to manufacture rapid tests for the domestic Brazilian marketplace. Bio-Manguinhos, a significant Brazilian manufacturer of vaccines and an affiliate entity of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, will assemble these rapid tests, which detect HIV antibodies, and provide them to the Brazilian HIV/AIDS agency (DST/AIDS) as part of the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) program.

In February, Chembio Diagnostics Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of CDI, signed a 13-year technology transfer and supply agreement ("Agreement")with Bio-Manguinhos. The Agreement supports the request from the Brazilian Ministry of Health and National AIDS Control Organization to provide the Brazilian population with a domestically manufactured HIV rapid test. </FONT></DIV>

The Agreement includes a commitment to purchase at least one million of Chembio&#146;s HIV 1/2 Stat-Pak rapid tests for the public health market in Brazil. Over the following 10-year period, Chembio will receive royalties based on sales of the product. With this current order, the contractual commitment for the first year of the contract has been met.</FONT></DIV>

ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. ("CDI") has received a $708,050 purchase order from Bio-Manguinhos to supply HIV 1/2 Stat-Pak components to manufacture rapid tests for the domestic Brazilian marketplace. Bio-Manguinhos, a significant Brazilian manufacturer of vaccines and an affiliate entity of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, will assemble these rapid tests, which detect HIV antibodies, and provide them to the Brazilian HIV/AIDS agency (DST/AIDS) as part of the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) program. Chembio is scheduled to complete this order for Bio-Manguinhos by the end of the year.
This purchase order follows from the recent approval of the Bio-Manguinhos branded version of HIV 1/2 Stat-Pak by the Brazilian National Monitoring Agency (Agencia Nacional de Vigilancia Sanitaria) ANVISA for use and distribution in Brazil. In February, Chembio Diagnostics Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of CDI, signed a 13-year technology transfer and supply agreement ("Agreement")with Bio-Manguinhos. The Agreement supports the request from the Brazilian Ministry of Health and National AIDS Control Organization to provide the Brazilian population with a domestically manufactured HIV rapid test.
During the first three years of this Agreement, Chembio will transfer technology and provide training to enable Bio-Manguinhos to produce Chembio's HIV rapid test product locally. The Agreement includes a commitment to purchase at least one million of Chembio's HIV 1/2 Stat-Pak rapid tests for the public health market in Brazil. Over the following 10-year period, Chembio will receive royalties based on sales of the product. With this current order, the contractual commitment for the first year of the contract has been met.
