Researchers Develop a USB Device that Tests For HIV and AIDS in 20 Minutes
AIDS testing is a time-consuming, tedious process that involves bulky equipment in a hospital setting, but researchers at Imperial College London and DNA Electronics might have found a solution in a USB drive that will allow patients to test virus levels in their bloodstream at home in as little as 20 minutes."We have taken the job done by equipment the size of a large photocopier, and shrunk it down to a USB chip" Graham Cooke, senior author of the research from the Department of Medicine at Imperial College, said in a press release.Cooke tells Inverse that the project took five years to complete.

Researchers may soon add a new tool to the arsenal against HIV and it's no bigger than a USB stick.Developed by scientists at Imperial College London and DNA Electronics, the compact, disposable device, when plugged into a computer, can detect HIV from a single drop of blood.The device was inspired by Dr. Graham Cookes' years working in rural South Africa.
