(Klimb News Wire) Chicago – As part of the World Health Organization's World Health Day and the CDC’s STD Awareness month throughout April, STDtesting.com launches its new website aimed at informing, testing, and treating the general public for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in a completely private, innovative way.
"At STDtesting.com, part of our mission is to eliminate the social stigma often attributed to STDs and to make preventative healthcare more accessible. We not only offer STD testing via in-home testing kits and at over 4,000 nationwide labs, but STDtesting.com also serves as a physician-backed resource of information for those unaware of risks, testing, and treatment options," said Jonathan Weatherly, President of STDtesting.com. "More than 19 million become infected with STDs each year and only half are aware. We hope to play an important role in increasing consumer awareness and testing through this new resource."
STDtesting.com, a division of the Institute of Sexual Health, is a leading source of STD information, education and research. Backed by the Medical Advisory Board, a nationally recognized team of medical experts and researchers, the Institute of Sexual Health is partnered with STDtesting.com to provide easy online access to STD testing, counseling, and treatment.
The Medical Advisory Board is comprised of:
-H. Hunter Handsfield, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington Center for AIDS and STDS and former director of the STD Control Program for Public Health at Seattle & King County
-Barbara Van Der Pol, PhD, MPH, Professor and Director of Indiana University’s Infectious Diseases Laboratory
-Neil S. Skolnick, MD, Professor at Temple University’s School of Medicine and editor-in-chief of two medical textbooks on infectious diseases and primary health care.
STDtesting.com offers 4,000 convenient testing locations, as well as at-home testing kits for complete privacy. With expertly trained counselors on-call, STDtesting.com is fully prepared to guide customers through the ordering, testing and results process.
"We're committed to having experts available seven days a week to answer questions, assist in interpreting STD test results, and even prescribing medication for certain curable and treatable STDs," said Weatherly.
As part of our effort to heighten awareness during STD awareness month, all STD tests purchased during April will receive a 20% discount with code: TAKECHARGE.
