"Hey baby. Wanna pee on my phone?"

New technology may allow STD test by peeing on a computer chip you can connect to your phone.

Okay, you wouldn't pee on the chip when it's connected to your Phone, but I still wanted to use that title.

Anyway, how effective do you think this could be?

I wouldn't touch any phone that has been used in this way. I don't care if the test came back clean or not.

urine is sterile

But it's yellow and stinks!

I am officially declaring this feature too hilarious not to catch on. Who's with me?

What the fuck? O_O

Huh. Well, nothing wrong with having a quick-and-easy STD test lying around.

I'm just wondering why they have to stuff these sorts of features on your phone.

What.

... lolwut

So would it be designed like an extra-long pregnancy test thingy with the other end plugging into your phone?

The impression I got skimming it was, "remove sim card from phone. Pee upon sim card. Place card back into phone."

I am bugged by the slight sensationalism of the articles announcing std testing by "peeing on your phone," since it's just the card.

I acknowledged that in the first post, mind.

I wasn't directing that at you.

It bothers me that so many people are bothered by this. This is a huge deal; once it's cheap enough, I think every sexually active person ought to be using this.

Getting a piece of electronics wet (never mind urine) is never going to be natural for me.
