It's odd to me that you're saying HIV tests can give definitive devastating diagnoses to people alone in their homes, yet they are OK; but genetic testing provides a range of possibilities and recommends further investigation, but they are somehow so devastating that they would drive someone to despair or suicide.
- mbreese 13y agoI'm not trying to equate things to HIV tests, and it's probably a poor example. I'm not sure what the reporting process for an in-home HIV test would be. I recently had a doctor tell me that she's not allowed to actually give the results of an HIV test over the phone for fear of patient reactions. What I was trying to say was that that class of test should be easier to use and get a definitive yes/no answer with a smaller false positive rate.
