SSP BioAnalytics Inc. (SSPB) announced today it will launch the world’s first integrated STD/HIV Health Status I.D. Card System, the Safe Sex Passport (SSP) on December 1st, in conjunction with World Aids Day.
Designed to help prevent thespread of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) by providing individuals and their partners with an added layer of information ‘protection,’ the company will begin offering SSP Cards and Online Health Certificates for use on dating and social networking websites at SafeSexPassport.com.
The Safe Sex Passport is part of a confidential and digitally secure I.D. card system that enables the cardholder to share their current STD test results with a partner prior to any intimate activities. Test results are accessed from an Interactive Voice Response system by using the SSP Card serial number and user defined security code.
The SSP system typically costs $300 for six months ($274 for renewals), which includes the SSP Card, unlimited Online Health Certificates and STD/HIV testing through a nationwide network of laboratories. SSP cardholders will be retested every six months as recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
SSPB is a medical information technology company that is an outgrowth of the continuing and urgent need to provide a solution for the increased incidence of sexually transmitted diseases throughout the world.
Technically Speaking, the combination of technology and safe sex is an interesting concept. I wonder how many will scream “privacy! privacy!” today? I also wonder if this could evolve into the National ID card that privacy advocates are lobbying against, and for good cause. You may be more concerned about whether to buy that extended warranty during this shopping season.
