#Engineers have created a smartphone HIV test that costs $35 to make Let s be honest: Smartphones aren thought#t necessarily of as devices that help to slow the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
In fact research has found that transmission rates go up when hookup sites#even ones on the tamer end like Craigslist#come to town.
But smartphones are also capable of transforming into competitive diagnostic tools as a team of biomedical engineers out of Columbia University is showing with their new attachment that can detect both HIV and syphilis in a single 15-minute test.
It uses the phone#s power and data collection and incorporates simple optics and fluid control to process a finger prick of blood.
(i e. both iphones and Android phones) thanks to the compatibility of the jacks themselves. So the achievement isn#t so much in the test itself as it is in the components used to run that test simply and efficiently.

#Wave and Paymobile Phone Payment system Launched in the UK Orange and Samsung have teamed-up with Barclaycard to provide mobile phone payments with the new uick Tappayment technology.
Like the abolition of the £1 note or the introduction of the £2 coin, yesterday was a historic day for British money.
Courtesy of Barclaycard, Orange and Samsung, consumers across the UK can now pay for goods and services with nothing more than a mobile phone.
Yougov research, commissioned by digital payments provider Intelligent Environments, says 42 per cent of smartphone users want to use their phones as mobile wallets.
Owners of the Apple iphone are keenest, but significant proportions of Blackberry and Google phone users want to take advantage of it too.
That not because technology built into mobile phones is the way that everything, from cameras to translators, seems to be going.
It down to the fact that this new mobile-based method is quick simpler and crucially, more secure than anything wee got available at the moment.
With a mobile phone data connection, however, all transactions can be authorised and completed instantly. In due course, transactions over £15 will be permitted
if a pin is entered on the mobile phone. That, too, is more secure than the traditional keypad.
however, is that for now only one phone, one payment provider and one network operator provides this whizzy technology.
