Soon You Can Diagnose Your STD With Your Phone

[im_thelumberjack]

I'm not sure if I like the idea of peeing on something and then sticking it into my computer.

And by the time you add in the USB licensing fees, advertising, and all sorts of other red tape fees and licensing, your $1.60 device climbs to probably $40.

Hardly... I can imagine the FDA and JCAHO responses to something like this.
I will never happen.

i would just spit but i spit out blood too often......

This will never be as reliable as going into a doctor having him or her look at your penis/vagina/anus, swab all of them, plus take a urine sample, plus oral swabs; as well as their training and experience.

People need to get over themselves; a sexual health checkup is just as mandatory as a PAP smear, or a prostate examination, blood test prior to giving blood, etc. If you're going to have a "promiscuous" sex life then get tested regularly.

If you're not mature enough to go to a doctor and have them look at your body for your benefit, then you're not mature enough to engage in that kind of life style, and you're putting others at risk.

(No I'm not some prude preaching to you.)

[citation][nom]theroguex[/nom]Um, no, this isn't right. Because now people will self-diagnose their STDs and not tell anyone what they have. There is a reason you go to a clinic to check for these - if you're found to have one, you are required to report it to your sexual partners. This will just make it to where people try to hide what they have and not tell anyone.[/citation]
What the hell are you talking about. I don't know where you live but in the US the HIPAA prevents anyone from discussing your medical information with others without your consent. You're not required to disclose it to anyone. Sure, it's the right thing to do but there's no law requirement.

In Canada any way; there is a law that if you're identified as a HIV/AIDS positive individual when you go to give blood. You're added to a regional registry (oh kanada -_-) for HIV/AIDS risks. Or at least that is what I was last told when i asked them what happened (when i last gave blood) I'll ask again on the 18th when I'm there.

I suppose overall good idea, as long as people don't rely too much on it.

We need HIV/AIDS education. It's very important!! CDC has granted CSU $1.9M for HIV/AIDS education.
The number of members on the largest HIV dating&support site == pozspaces.com (if I spell the site correctly) has reached 500,000 members

like a USB stick, and then plug it into their phone or computer

this has NOTHING to do with Crapple, as they don't even use standard USB. man i hate that company...so. much.

Use a condom, or avoid that girl who is just a little too dirty for your tastes.

 

[jonpaul37]

[citation][nom]cookoy[/nom]new upcoming versions of Norton and McAfee will include anti-STD protection for your iPhone and PC. and Apple will come up with a protective skin wrapper for your iPhones. it's a condom for your phone.[/citation]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[zak_mckraken]

Wow. It's actually amazing! And why stop a STDs? Why not put in a drop of blood and find out we have other diseases or a high sodium/glucose level? Soon, we'll have our own portable doctors!

 

[cekasone]

Friend: How'd you fry your mobo.
Me: I pissed on a usb drive and put in my computer.
Friend: Nice

 

[aaron686]

Think you got AIDS? There's an app for that!

 

[zoenphlux]

I do NOT want to be the tech help line for this!!
"Do i stick it in before i pee on it?"
"Is there an anal version?"
"will this infect my computer too?!"

:O
