FDA approves 2 AIDS tests WASHINGTON (AP) Americans got two new tests for the AIDS virus Monday: one to more easily detect infection and the other to predict how fast patients with the deadly disease will sicken. The Food and Drug Administration called Epitope Orasure the first oral test that appears as reliable as the standard blood test to diagnose the HIV virus that causes AIDS. Orasure uses a treated cotton pad to scrape a tissue sample from between the gum and cheek. The sample is tested for antibodies to HIV, and doctors predicted wide use by people at risk for HIV but who shunned REGIONAL Weather Tuesday, June 4 Accu Weather forecast for daytime conditions and high temperatures Cumberland Hagerstown Wilmington Baltimore W.VA.

(AP) Ray Combs, a comedian who followed Richard Dawson as host of the game show "Family' Feud," committed suicide hours after he was taken to a hospital, police said.

Combs, 40, hanged himself at the Glendale Adventist Medical Center, an unidentified friend told Los Angeles radio station KFWB. He arrived at the hospital Saturday afternoon with a head injury. "His death. was definitely a suicide," said police Sgt. Tom Kuh.

Both police and hospital officials refused to comment on the report that Combs hanged himself, only saying that he died of respiratory failure. He was pronounced dead at the suburban Los Angeles hospital early Sumday, said spokeswoman Alicia Gonzalez. Paramedics brought him to In Memory Of Jack Morris 2-10-49 to 6-4-95 Those we love are never lost to us. We feel them in so many special ways.

The Journal News in Combs' hometown of Hamilton, Ohio, reported today that Combs hit his head falling into his Jacuzzi Saturday. Between 1988 and 1994, Combs was the host of "The New Family Feud," on CBS, a version of the ABC game show that ran between 1977 and 1985 with Richard Dawson as master of ceremonies.

In a 1988 interview with The Associated Press, Combs said he hoped the game show would turn' him into another Johnny Carson. "I realized, this was my vehicle," Combs said. "Just as Carson had 'Who Do You Just as Merv Griffin had another show. Just as Groucho had 'You Bet Your blood tests. Patients who already know they're infected can find out just how much HIV is floating in their blood with HoffmanRoche's Amplicor test, also approved Monday.

But the question is whether patients will want this test, said Dr. Curtis Scribner, FDA's deputy director of blood research. Studies do show that patients with high HIV blood levels are more likely to sicken fast but nobody knows if drugs that lower those blood levels significantly reduce the risk of death or even if changes in HIV amounts signal it's time to change treatments, he said. "We are at the cutting edge of science and medicine right here," Scribner said. "We just have not answered those questions yet." Still, Roche will offer baseline Amplicor testing for free to any HIV-infected patient for 60 days starting June 17.

Later, the test will cost $150 to $200. Doctors now gauge AIDS progression by measuring levels of an immune cell called CD4 that is a main target of HIV. But some people have no AIDS symptoms despite very low CD4 levels. The first generation of Orasure was approved in 1994, but it used a less sensitive method to screen for HIV antibodies.
