Mobile phone kits to diagnose STDs
Soon we'll all be able to test for STD's right after we've been naughty! Doctors are, in collaboration with technology experts, working on ways to test yourself on possible STD's. Ways to check for STD's in which computers and even your hand-held mobile phones are used, are being considered. Doctors hope this will decrease the currently increasing number of teens having STD's. Experts say it's the perfect way to decrease this number since teens are often too embarrassed to visit a health expert, however, are very keen on using their mobile phones and computers.

"I just had sex!" Lets test!
Personally, I think this is a great idea! For many people, the step to visit a doctor to test on STD's is quite big. Now, people: a) Don't need to visit, b) Don't have to show before they know, c) Can warn others, d) Are more likely to play safe and e) can act responsibly towards themselves and others much more earlier. Should I continue? I think this is a great step forward for technology and the battle against STD's that's obviously growing under today's youth. The downside is that I'd be less likely to borrow one's phone in the future.
