The New York Daily Newsreports that 15,000 people are now using STFree which enables people to prove they have been tested for STDs. STFree acts as a 3rd party entity by verifying and storing individuals STD testing information with their consent. The service, which charges one-time $19.99 fee, provides members with an ID called the Safe Sex License (SSL).
Manhattan-based company STFree Certifications provides its health-conscious customers a sexual history "license" with a phone number on the back that enables them to prove their testing backgrounds to potential partners.
More than 15,000 people nationwide have signed up for the STFree service, launched in 2004 by Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, native Eli Dancy.
Dancy, a former club promoter, said he saw "a lot of irresponsibility" in his neighborhood and created the STFree card to help raise awareness.
"In places like where I grew up and where I worked, there are incredibly high HIV and STD rates," said Dancy, 28. "This card opens up the conversation for people to talk about it."
STFree cards contain a phone number and a PIN number that can be used to unlock the testing history of a potential sex partners. STFree has a FAQ on its website here.
