Sex disease will be detected by mobile phone

Venereal disease began attacking young people, but many are embarrassed to consult a doctor even if suspected by the symptoms. Well, soon there will be a phone that can easily detect venereal disease.

High rates of HIV infection and transmission of venereal disease make physicians and technology experts to develop a small device similar to a pregnancy test kits, which will tell someone with a fast and personal about sexually transmitted diseases are infected through sexual intercourse.

This mobile device will soon present to diagnose sexually transmitted infections (STIs) through an innovative program to cut the rate of transmission of herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhea (gonorrhea) among young people.

By using this tool, people can place suspected of being infected urine or saliva to a computer chip about the size of a USB chip, which is then connected to a mobile phone or computer to receive a diagnosis within minutes.

“Your call is personal will be able to doctor a mobile that can diagnose any of various venereal diseases, so you can easily get treatment,” explained Dr Tariq Sadiq, lead researcher and health consultant physician sexual and HIV in St George’s, University of London, such as reported by the Guardian on Monday (8/11/2010).

According to Dr Sadiq, a ‘test yourself’ is suitable aimed at young people responsive technology.

“I am afraid that many young people are embarrassed to come to the doctor or clinic to check this disease, so that they can make a venereal disease he suffered from more severe and can be treated,” said Dr. Sadiq.

Sexual health experts expect this device will help reduce the increasing number of sexual disease has increased over the last ten years, especially in young people under the age of 25 years.

The researchers also plan to perform testing quickly and hope the device could soon be marketed in various public places such as condoms, such as at nightclubs, pharmacies and supermarkets.

“This is an interesting research and development consortium (joint venture) that will develop new technologies to enhance and expand the testing of venereal disease,” Professor Noel Gill, head of HIV and STIs in the Health Protection Agency.
