Casual dating app HUD is partnering with Stigma Health to educate and empower dating app users to take control of their sexual health and wellbeing.
HUD App’s new blog shares information about sexual health topics including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), with Stigma Health providing researched, expert content to ensure readers are well-informed and can feel confident they’re looking after themselves.
“At HUD App, we aren’t afraid to talk about taboo topics,” says Mikayla Robinson, HUD App’s Director of Marketing. “We encourage our users to have honest, upfront conversations with their dates, and we’re thrilled to work with Stigma Health to provide research-backed, medically sound information that will help people improve their sexual health and wellbeing.”
“Stigma Health is excited to collaborate with HUD App to make sexual health sexy. HUD doesn't shy away from important conversations, and neither do we,” says James Sneddon, Co-Founder of Stigma Health. “Stigma Health loves seeing HUD App take the sexual health of their community seriously, and this content collaboration will ensure it’s front and centre at critical moments in the online dating scene.”
Stigma Health’s first article for HUD, “Educate yourself about STIs”, highlights the importance of safe intimacy and regular testing. With STI Awareness Week taking place from April 14-20, it’s a timely topic.
“According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 million STIs are acquired every day worldwide, the majority of which are asymptomatic – meaning someone might not even be aware they have an STI because they aren’t showing any obvious symptoms,” Robinson says.
“This is why HUD App is so thrilled to count on Stigma Health’s team of health professionals, who are generously sharing their expertise, research, and information to help our dating app users be proactive about awareness, prevention, and treatment of STIs – eradicating any stigma or shame they might feel.”
HUD App and Stigma Health will cover a range of important sexual wellbeing topics, such as how to have safe sex, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis, which helps to protect against HIV transmission), and mythbusting about LGBTQIA+ sexual health.
Sneddon adds, “Stigma Health is Australia's leading provider of online STI testing, and HUD is leading the way globally when it comes to honest and upfront online dating – it's a match made in cyber heaven!”
