Validation is a key element of the Bump 2 Know app. When the app is installed, users are asked to verify their identity using a series of third party checks. During the bump process each user exchanges identifying information, Assuring a secure and accurate data exchange.
Once validation has occurred, the results of an extensive STD analysis is exchanged showing testing dates, results and risks associated to the timing of the most recent testing. STD testing is provided from a number of labs. Certified STD labs will use several verification methods assure that STD information is only provided to each specific user, providing a safe and secure dating environment.
Today over 20 million new STD infections occur each year. 10 million of these are people between 15 and 24 years old. STDs are passed on from person to person most commonly through sexual contact. Some STDs may show no symptoms and can cause sterility or even death. Reducing the risk of STDs from sexual transfers as well as promoting periodic testing can greatly help reduce STDs and the transfer of non-curable STDs. We're working with the major testing labs to allow low cost, frequent comprehensive STD testing.
Help us stem the tide of this worldwide epidemic. Be part of the solution.
