Cutting-edge Startup Empowers Users to Screen for Major STD Risks on the Go; Sets New Standard for Safe Sex
PRLog - May 13, 2014 - LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Self-care innovator myLAB announced today the launch of the myLAB Box “Safe Is Sexy” program - a unique online service making frequent testing for STDs as easy as putting on a condom. It’s now simple, easy and affordable for users to test from home.
Here’s how the myLAB service works:
1. Select the box tailored to your lifestyle
2. The box arrives discretely at your doorstep
3. Screen for STDs without ever setting foot outside
4. Share results privately with potential partners
5. Enjoy exclusive perks and membership rewards
6. Our staff is on-hand if you have questions about your results
Championing the motto “Safe is Sexy,” myLAB gives members a chance to regain control of their sexual health. The service sets a new standard for safe sex by getting active adults on a screening schedule and improving the quality of life and safety of both them and their partners.
“At myLAB our mission is to stop the spread of STDs by removing all the obstacles people have to regular screening - no more appointments, awkward conversations, big needles or lab waiting rooms. We take the guesswork out of safe sex and do the work for you. When the box arrives, all you have to do is take a few easy samples and you are done,” states myLAB Co-founder, Ursula Hessenflow. Co-founder Lora Ivanova adds, “Rising healthcare costs and inefficiencies in the current STD testing options means many will skip the recommended annual checkup, struggle to obtain copies of their lab results once tested or face a steep price attempting to maintain their health on an ongoing basis. The convenient and affordable myLAB Box automates and optimizes screening frequency to your lifestyle so you can just enjoy peace of mind.”
With an estimated one third of Americans living with a viral STD today, 20 million new infections are projected each year. The rise of online dating and stimulant use among adults increase risk factors by as much as three times, yet less than half of adults ages 18-44 have ever been tested for anything other than HIV. Bottom line, 1 in 2 Americans will contract an STD at some point in their lifetimes - a grim statistic myLAB aims to change.
“Undiagnosed and untreated STDs can lead to lifelong health problems, even death,” points out internist and wellness expert Dr. Amy Lee. “Many infections have no symptoms or they are too minor to see and wreck havoc for as long as they remain undetected. myLAB’s innovative home screening model offers an invaluable early detection opportunity that can change the way we think of and maintain sexual health in the U.S.”
Screening kits offered through the myLAB service are designed to go anywhere anytime with accuracy comparable to in-lab testing for three of the most commons STDs - Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Trichomoniasis, and early detection screening for HIV.
Signing up for myLAB is as easy as 1-2-3. Register today as a beta user and get discounted kits or 1 free month off a membership and fun perks. Bring the lab home with just a click!
