Venereal disease test

We yesterday spoke about the effectiveness test of fertility, today whether test of venereal diseases, i.e. STDs like herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhea. Apparently in United Kingdom walk quite concerned about the levels of infection among young people and have not hesitated to bet on technology as an ally.

At the moment the figures are not alarming, but if worrying, since just last year in United Kingdom almost half a million new infections were detected. Less than half was in women, but two of every three women had less than 25 years.In the case of men, more than half was less than 25 years, and both men and women this age group made infection rates by chlamydia, genital warts, and gonorrhea.

The problem is that many of these young, still presenting symptoms opt to not go to the doctor, giving rise to new infections.To alleviate this situation one of the solutions that will launch United Kingdom is the distribution of small devices, similar to pregnancy test but that connect to your mobile or your home computer and allow you to do a test of venereal disease quickly, easily and with total privacy.

Investment is of more than four million euros, and scheduled for these test of venereal diseases is sold as condoms, i.e. in supermarkets, pharmacies, discos, etc. and at an affordable price.

The idea is that one can buy these tests by an approximate price of 1 euro, and once home take a urine sample or saliva to then insert into the device in minutes one gets a reliable diagnosis.Really this is a development huge and unthinkable until a few years ago, these devices are like mini Labs that combine nanotechnology and advances in microfluidics.

Now if you have some suspicion, any itching or pain, any wart or swelling may make test calmly and in case of giving positive get some recommendations for treatment.Rather than leave the doctor side or invite the young automedique, it comes to see that really have a problem and needs to be addressed.These tests also help detect venereal diseases not always manifested external symptoms such as gonorrhea, and which however long term if they are not given solution can have very negative consequences.
