LOS ANGELES—At this year’s Urban X Awards in Los Angeles, an event celebrating diversity and excellence in adult entertainment, at-home STI testing platform BasisDx spotlighted the crucial role of STI testing within the adult industry by providing free testing kits to professionals in attendance.
The event, hosted by Nicole Kitt, Carmela Clutch, and Charlie B. Hustle, brought together talent from across the industry. BasisDx ensured that the spotlight wasn't just on the stars but also on the importance of sexual health.
Urban X weekend events featured a Hall of Fame dinner, as well as a Lingerie Party at The Players Club and a White Party at Harbor House, located in downtown Los Angeles. BasisDx made its PASS-certified Pro13 testing kits available to attendees and distributed hundreds of kits to partygoers.
BasisDx emphasized that STI testing is not just a routine procedure but a cornerstone of the adult industry's foundation by implementing testing policy clearinghouse PASS certification standards. Through a partnership with PASS, BasisDx not only supports the health of those in the adult industry but also reinforces the importance of regular STI testing as a vital aspect of safety protocols.
“STI testing is critical for the well-being of all performers and so is convenience, when it comes to the testing process. We’ve made it our mission to empower adult industry professionals with the convenience of at-home testing access. Readily available sexual health resources make testing easier than ever for those with demanding schedules or travel needs,” BasisDx CEO Dr. Andreas Kogelnik said. “We’re proud to partner with Urban X Awards to provide complimentary STI testing with fast, reliable, and confidential results to all of this year's attendees.”
“Each test is uniquely tracked to a user with various steps for online identity and sample security/authenticity, allowing us to provide an equivalent or greater level of identity security when compared with an in-person collection,” Dr. Kogelnik added.
Dr. Kogelnik recently announced a subscription model for adult entertainment companies to offer regular at-home testing kits with results delivered directly to PASS within 24 to 48 hours of sample receipt. For further information, visit BasisDx.org.
