Chlamydia. Syphilis.
Gonorrhea. They’re not easy topics to discuss with your partner, but sexually
transmitted disease (STD) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates are on
the rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
STDs remain a major public health challenge in the United States. The CDC
estimates that there are approximately 19 million new STD infections each year.
Eli Dancy, founder of
STFree Certifications Inc. and creator of the unprecedented “Safe Sex License,”
which is recognized by the CDC and the New York State Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene, designed and recently launched a new app, “Chec-Mate.”
Mr. Dancy shared with the
Dating Examiner, that at the age of 21 he’d left “a life of promoting what some
may consider to be un-safe sexual environments to try to reverse a steadily
increasing STD/HIV rate in my community.” This change led to the 2001
introduction of the world’s first Safe Sex License, which was a smartcard that
allowed individuals to instantly share the last times they were screened for
various STDs instantly and confidentially.
The Chec-Mate app is the
first and only Smartphone app developed for the iOS and Android device that
allows you to verify, share or exchange your recent STI screening dates and
results instantly, securely and confidentially. If you could share your current
STD status with someone instantly, via your phone, would you? The new Chec-Mate
app was the next obvious step.
“We are excited that
advancements in technology have provided us with an opportunity to be the first
to provide the world a secure platform to safely exchange lifesaving
information,” says Mr. Dancy.
With approximately 19
million STI infections reported each year in the United States alone, the
Chec-Mate app is long overdue. The app can be downloaded for free via iTunes
and allows users:
·
Instant access to
screening results 24 hours a day 7 days a week
·
Confidential Screening
Result Verification
·
Safe & Secure
Storage
·
Built in Screening

While the Dating Examiner
recognizes that discussing STDs are not the sexiest subject, my mantra is, “If
you can’t talk about all aspects of sex, then you shouldn’t be having sex.”
Think about it. You are sharing one of the most intimate acts, it doesn’t
matter if it’s a one-nighter it’s still intimate and yet, you don’t have the
moxie to talk about your STD status? Seems absurd doesn’t it? The Chec-Mate app
is the perfect tool to help you quickly and comfortably open up that discussion
with your partner. For more information about Chec-Mate, please click HERE and
