Aethlon Medical Sends HIV-AIDS & Hepatitis-C Treatment Technology to India

SAN DIEGO, Apr 21, 2005 - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD) announced that it will begin shipping its Hemopurifier(TM) treatment technology to India today. The Company stated that today's shipment is the first lot of Hemopurifiers that will be sent to support the HIV and Hepatitis-C human studies that were announced in February.

Aethlon Chairman & CEO, James A. Joyce stated, "The initial shipment of our Hemopurifier treatment technology is a significant milestone for our research team, especially when considering that each Hemopurifier represents new hope for infected individuals that don't have access or are unresponsive to the current standard of care." Once received in India, the initial Hemopurifier lot will undergo required biocompatibility and toxicity testing prior to initiating human studies. Aethlon Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Richard Tullis added, "Our manufacturing and quality procedures are in place and operating efficiently. We are on track to achieve safety and preliminary efficacy data this summer."
