A New Device for Detecting STDs
Was reading an article on basqueresearch.com about a new portable device that IK4 Technological Alliance has developed that can detect Chlamydia, HPV, and other STDs in less than half an hour. This device will be put on the market in India in 2012 where a large amount of the population is thought to be affected somewhere in the range of 80 million.
This device is not only quick but inexpensive and will be able to detect STDs in much less time than the conventional ways which require laboratory testing. At most interest will be the ability to detect Chlamydia , the most reported STD in the world. A quick detection of the diseases will help medical professionals treat the patient before it causes more damage. The low cost will make it affordable to people who possibly could not afford STD testing before
