Sure, but even just being able to quickly answer "HIV or HPV?" has tremendous value. Everything else is perfectly treatable, no?

- book_mentioned 9y agoMore interesting to me if this could detect HIV within the first 30 days of infection. I'm no expert but IIRC that's not possible with any test right now.
- evolve2017 9y agoNot quite true - we're down to around 14 days with the latest generation of tests. The ideal would be a rapid 'fever' panel that tests for all the viruses we currently pay a ton of money for. This sort of test could pick up early-stage HIV which, if symptomatic, don't feel much different from a cold/flu.
