The experimental HIV USB stick looks much like the memory storage drives that are ubiquitous these days.(Imperial College London/DNA Electronics)What if you could measure the amount of HIV in your blood as easily as you check your weight on the scale in your bathroom or take your blood pressure using a home cuff?That's the vision of a team of scientists from the Imperial College London and DNA Electronics, who announced Thursday that they had developed a potentially revolutionary gadget to detect an HIV patient's viral load.

Scientists Develop USB Stick that Tests for HIV
Researchers from Imperial College London and DNA Electronics have created an HIV test that can be performed on a USB test, accurately producing results in under 30 minutes.The device uses a drop of blood to detect the amount of virus in the bloodstream, and if HIV is present a mobile phone chip senses a change in acidity and then creates an electrical signal that is picked up by the USB stick.Results are then produced in a computer program or an electronic device.

Scientists develop new type of HIV test on a USB stick
Researchers report the development of an HIV test that uses a USB stick that can provide a rapid and accurate reading of how much virus is in a person's blood.According to scientists at Imperial College London and U.S.-based DNA Electronics, the test was 95% accurate for nearly 1,000 blood samples and can product a reading in an average of 20.8 minutes.The new test uses a mobile phone chip and requires a drop of blood on the USB stick.
