The compact device monitors the amount of the HIV virus that's present in a patient's bloodstream, a measurement that's essential in keeping tabs on how effective treatment is battling the virus.Monitoring the amount of the virus that's present in a blood sample can let doctors know if a patient stops taking their medication or if the current course of action has stopped working.Researchers are also hoping that the technology can be used to test for hepatitis and other viruses.

LONDON Scientists in Britain have developed a type of HIV test using a USB stick that can give a fast and highly accurate reading of how much virus is in a patient's blood.The device, created by scientists at Imperial College London and the privately-held U.S. firm DNA Electronics, uses a drop of blood to detect HIV, then creates an electrical signal that can be read by a computer, laptop or handheld device.The researchers say the technology, although still in the early stages, could allow patients to regularly monitor their virus levels in a similar way to diabetes patients checking their blood sugar levels.
