Does anyone know where you can get XMRV testing done? Also, is it available to Canadians?

The Whittemore Peterson Insitute -- which is where connection between the XMRV retrovirus and CFS was discovered -- recommends that you have the testing done here:
The tests are quite comprehensive, as they now include both XMRV and other human MLV-related viruses.
They tests can be done using just blood serum, or culture, or both.
Your doctor needs to set up the account. I assume that it would be available to Canadians, but I am not sure.
