HUD App Launches Sexual Health Education Initiative

April 14th – 20th is 2024’s STI Awareness Week, and the HUD App is looking to empower users with educational materials about the topic of sexual health. The dating app has partnered with Stigma Health, Australia’s largest sexual health clinic, to help deliver this content.

The two organisations have partnered on a new blog post titled ‘Educate yourself about STIs’, which highlights key facts about sexual health and provides practical advice for staying safe when making new intimate connections.

Over the course of this educational initiative, the dating app revealed that resources on safe sex, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), and dispelling myths around LGBTQIA+ sexual health, will be published in due course.

The HUD App provides users with an opportunity to engage with casual dating in a shame-free way, helping them explore their desires with like-minded people. The New-Zealand based platform has more than 16 million users worldwide.

“At HUD App, we aren’t afraid to talk about taboo topics,” says Mikayla Robinson, HUD App’s Director of Marketing. Robinson was featured in Global Dating Insights’ 2024 Power Book in recognition of her brand awareness achievements over the past 12 months.

“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”, she added.

Stigma Health is Australia’s largest sexual health clinic, providing convenient and affordable STI testing and telehealth services.

“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”, shared 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 center at critical moments in the online dating scene”, he added.

The HUD App helps casual daters to connect through its unique ‘My Bedroom’ feature, video calling with automatic blurring, and an inclusive environment. Find out more about the HUD App on its website here.
