Tinder this week added a new feature that allows users to find STD testing sites in their area, resolving a dispute with a US sexual health advocacy group. A link to the STD testing locator is included under a new health safety section on Tinder’s website, and is accessible under the dating app’s FAQ page.
The move was welcomed by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that became embroiled in a feud with Tinder over billboards that linked the dating app to the spread of STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia. The billboards were launched as part of an awareness campaign in New York and Los Angeles, and featured the slogan: “Tinder, Chlamydia, Grindr, Gonorrhea,” referencing the popular dating app for gay men.
