Life Science Research Advancements In STD Testing

Time-consuming processes, high expense, and lack of access to testing labs used to be the biggest problems with STD testing.  It could take days for elaborate bioassays to determine results. This was important to get the best, most accurate result.

Today, however, there has been an explosion of new technologies and STD testing methods that make it far cheaper and easier for the 448 million new cases of curable STIs each year to be diagnosed early and treated.

Today, there are at least …
