the beginning of july, the fda approved the hepatitis test. it's an hiv test that you can actually buy over the counter. the only one of its kind and this one could go a long way towards helping to diagnose the hundreds of thousands of people who don't know they have hiv. that's why the stock spiked up to $13.36. since then it's pulled back, $10.36. a week after the fda gave the go-ahead, a big secondary offering sold $75 million worts of stock at 1$12.30. the stock is admittedly quite expense especially when you consider that orasur is -- let's check in with doug michaels, he's the president and ceo of orasur technologies. welcome to "mad money." >> thank you, jim. >> so i go to walgreens, i got to cvs next week, what are you going to snow. >> hopefully you're going to see that product on the shelf. we began shipping to retailers last friday and saturday, obviously the product is in transit to our retailers and they have to get it out into the stores. it's going to be in 30,000 stores as well as available online. >> you've got every detail in

it can be a very mild form of hepatitis, or it can be a very severe form of hepatitis that's quite progressive and leads to cirrhosis. we also know that if the infection occurs peri-natally, around the time of birth, that the likelihood of developing a chronic infection is much, much higher. some of these chronic infections will also lead to liver cancer, and so the burden is quite significant. another std that affects newborns is chlamydia. jane davis: we have a fairly high prevalence of chlamydia in the clinic and most of that is probably because of the young age of our patient population. chlamydia is a quite common std in adolescence. chlamydia by itself, does not really pose a problem to the pregnancy vis-a-vis looking at pre-term labor, premature rupture of membranes, but it can cause some problems with the neonate, the newborn. it can cause a fairly significant conjunctivitis. in fact, it's one of the leading causes of blindness in this world, chlamydia conjunctivitis. at delivery they instill drops, antibiotic drops into the infant's eyes, so we don't see that much anymore. but the oth

the hepatitis c market is tough.s a widespread disease and gilead is the leader in trying to cure it. stay with cramer. >>> coming up, the clock is ticking. call cramer at 1-800-743-cnbc. to find out how to fire away at cramer on the "lightning round." can he withstand your thunderous onslaught of stocks? >>> and later, how do your stocks stack up in a mystifying market? cramer makes sure your portfolio makes the grade on "am i diversified?" all coming up on "mad money." >>> it is time, it is time for the "lightning round" on cramer's "mad money." you ask me whether to buy or sell, play until this sound, and then the "lightning round" is over. are you ready skee-daddy? i'm going to start with mark in missouri. mark? >> caller: hey, jim, shooting out a boo-yah to wash u in st. louis. >> nice. >> caller: my question is on c.o.g. for my investments class. >> i've got to wait for a pullback. a lot of the marcellus assets, but it spiked because natural gas took out three, i say hold off, it was a big performer last year,

lin wood nelson says he contracted hepatitis c four years ago. he wasn't told of the connection to david until this year. >> everyone you see that is in florida at the hospital and their scrubs, you think they are there in your best interest, not knowing one person can deceive you for life. >> yeah, you wouldn think that. he is facing federal charges for injecting himself of narcotics and then leaving the syringes to be used on patients. he worked at the baltimore v.a. medical center from may to november of '08. he worked at maryland general hospital, southern maryland hospital and johns hopkins as well as hospitals in seven other states. >> now when it comes to paying our healthcare premiums, we are feeling the pinch. the annual survey by two major research groups find those costs are rising twice as fast as wages. the kaiser family health foundation and the health research and educational trust find that the annual premium for family health insurance is an average of $15,745. that is up 4% from last year and it works out to $4300 per employee.

but it's no longer the best way to play hepatitis.r bristol-myers dropped out of the race, they also halted testing of another drug. that was enough to knock that one off. the main ones are abbott labs, merck, j & j. those are huge drug companies and these might be too small versus the overall size of the companies. vertex has something, their pipeline is too early and there's limited data. that leaves us with two more ponies, highly risky and highly speculated killion. i'm picking gilliad tonight. not only the last man standing, the hepatitis c drug they're developing comes from the same family bristol-myers were working on except without the harmful side effects. the bad news for the other two players, listen, it's fabulous for gilliad. that's one small piece of the puzzle. they've built into a truly incredible biotech franchise. the number one portfolio of hiv drugs out there and their previous work has given gilliad terrific insight into treating hepatitis c. it has a similar motive action. they got into the game when they acquire

and that's just for hepatitis b. dynavax also has a hepatitis b vaccine that will be used for elderly diabetics who often get the disease when testing their glucose levels. this could be a huge market. given the obesity epidemic we're seeing in the country, possibly $2 to $3 billion over the next 10 to 15 years. if everything goes well, and again, that's a major assumption, i could see the stock going from $8 to $10, call it $9 at the mid point. the bottom line, i don't like to play the fda roulette wheel usually. but i think the case for dynavax's hepatitis b vaccine is too good to ignore and the odds that the fda will hand down a positive in november, that's why it's risky. i like to think for speculation friday. the partly cooling off period, study over the weekend. if the stock opens up on monday or tuesday, you're not going to buy it. brian in maryland. brian? >> caller: boo-yah, jim. >> boo-yah, brian. >> caller: my question is a follow-up on 3d systems, stock symbol ddd. they had a 15% decline. i'm wondering i
