Abstract
What could be helpful after a risky party ? Maybe to rapidly know if you did stupid things last time.
What if you could, in only 5 minutes, have the list of all the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) you just got and the drugs you took ?
You don't care if it is the HIV, the syphilis or the hepatitis B. What you need to know is "should I consult a doctor ?"
Very-Bad-Trip is a small paper device that detects markers in a very early state of the infection, and several at the time.
It's cheap, easy, and give you multiple answers very quickly to help you remember.
This project uses an innovative nucleic acid technology and a combination of existing parts, but no cells are used in this detection process.
Cells are only used to produce the genetic construction.
