HIV test performed on USB stick

London: Imperial College London and DNA Electronics, uses a drop of blood to detect HIV, and then creates an electrical signal that can be read by a computer, laptop or handheld device. The disposable test could be used for HIV patients to monitor their own treatment. Furthermore, the technology could enable patients with HIV to be managed more effectively in remote locations. New research, published in the journal Scientific Reports, shows the device is not only very accurate, but can produce a result in under 30 minutes.
