Recipients can use the kits at home and send their swabs to health officials who will provide results within 48 hours. The launch date for the program has yet to be announced, but the foundation is working to finalize software and questionnaires. The Gates Foundation also pledged $5 million to help detection efforts in and around Seattle.
