I'm pretty sure this will be part of the hobby in the very near future.  Pinprick your finger, take a shower, have full std panel results, play.  Maybe not on the low end of things, but this should become the new standard.

I love technology. All of the field tests for this have been super successful, and hopefully this technology finds its way into all facets of sexual encounters.  

Long live science!

I would not care since I do not like hour sessions, but let's say we have an hour session and we are both doing the pinprick and we now have to wait for 15 minutes.    What are we doing for 15 minutes?  Is it coming off my time?    

Again, not a concern for me, we would be waiting for the results while we enjoy a cocktail, probably running my big mouth, no biggie, but I could see how the 15 minute wait may become a source of contention.

BTW, I want the test for scabies, that post on the Chicago board last week scared the shit out of me, I was unfamiliar with those critters. Lol!

From my point of view - I am wearing a cover regardless of what the test shows because HIV and syphilis are not nearly as common as gonorrhea, for example.  From her point of view - same thing... and there's an obvious time transactional component involved as a poster pointed out.

So I am not sure what the point would be.

I think the impact may be entirely on the civvy side with gay men where the incidence of both of those diseases is high and casual BB play much more common - or at least that's what my queer friends tell me..

That would be a lot easier and less of a turnoff than a finger stick.
