FDA approves 20 minute HIV test. Still requires a "health care professional" to administer the test; I'm waiting for "bouncer"... Since we've just gone through kind of a 60s phase with color and design, anyone else foresee "Helloooo, the 70s"?.

It should also be noted that this tests for the antibodies to HIV, not HIV itself, and a body needs on the order of weeks to start generating those in response to an HIV infection, so my fanciful "check your health status at the nightclub door" fantasy isn't quite around the corner.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
