Scientists develop HIV test using a USB stick

Researchers at Imperial College London and the privately-held U.S. firm DNA Electronics developed a type of HIV test using a USB Stick that will give a fast and highly accurate reading of how much virus is in a patient’s blood. The device needs a drop of blood to be placed onto a spot on the USB stick to detect HIV and then creates an electrical signal that can read by a computer, laptop or handheld device. The USB stick is not only very accurate, but it can offer results on HIV levels in less than 30 minutes.
