I really don't know how to say this politely, but pretty much all of your statements are incorrect.
* First off, it's HSV not HPV. Pay attention, as they are two different viruses.
* Theranos' proprietary test system for the herpes simplex 1 virus IgG (HSV-1) has been approved by FDA, so no, it's not by traditional methods. [1]
* Other tests are performed actually by traditional methods
I'm not associated with Theranos in any way, so I couldn't care less, but please don't throw around random statements.

- trhway 10y agohave you read yourself the link you submitted? "This new approval, classified as CLIA certificate of waiver, allows testing outside of the lab for those determined to be so simple there is little room for error." If i remember this is the "lab developed tests" loophole that Threanos was trying to sneak through, and which was shut close for them on the basis that spreading their devices around, like interstate commerce, is a clear violation of the loophole and they do need actual FDA approval... the rest of the story we have been observing for the last several months.
