Tinder wants you to play safe while swiping right.
The dating mobile app added a new Health Safety section on their website this week that helps users locate the nearest clinic to get tested for STDs and HIV.
TOP 5 HEALTH APPS THAT PUT PHYSICIANS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
The new section includes a link to Healthvana’s free STD testing locator, which lets users compare clinics, doctors and even online providers. Healthvana also lets users receive electronic test results.
The new search feature comes after the AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s awareness campaign associating apps such as Tinder with STDs. AHF put up various billboards back in 2015 that featured silhouettes of people with overlaying STD names such as “chlamydia” and “gonorrhea” right next to apps such as “Tinder” and “Grindr.”
Tinder asked the organization to remove all ads with the app’s name, but they denied doing so until the new Health Safety section was added. AHF is now removing all the ads mentioning the app, according to Reuters.
Tinder’s new Health Safety page also includes safe sex tips such as using condoms, being open and honest, having the proper vaccinations and of course, knowing your status.
