Our Mission: Sexual Health Without Shame

status.health® exists to revolutionize sexual health verification within the LGBTQ+ community. We're building a world where getting tested is normalized and celebrated, where privacy is protected through cryptography instead of promises, and where responsible sexual health choices are actually rewarded.

Our mission is simple: reduce STI transmission rates by making testing easier, verification trustworthy, and healthy behaviors financially rewarding.

🦠

Reducing STI Transmission

By incentivizing regular testing and making it easy to verify testing history, we directly contribute to reducing STI transmission rates within our community.

💬

Normalizing Testing Conversations

No more awkward "so... when were you last tested?" conversations. Share verification with a tap—removing shame and making sexual health part of normal dating culture.

🏆

Rewarding Responsible Behavior

Get tested, earn points. Stay consistent, unlock bonuses. We turn healthy sexual habits into something that actually gives back to you and your community.

🔒

Privacy Through Innovation

Our zero-knowledge technology proves you've been tested without revealing results, providers, or personal details. Privacy by design, not just policy.

Built By and For the LGBTQ+ Community

status.health® wasn't created by outsiders looking in—we're community members who experienced the system's failures firsthand. Austin started this company after yet another trip to STRUT in the Castro, thinking "there has to be a better way."

We understand the unique challenges you and our community face:

  • Higher STI rates: LGBTQ+ individuals face disproportionate risks and need better tools
  • Privacy concerns: Fear of discrimination makes medical privacy especially critical
  • Dating app dynamics: Grindr conversations about status need better tools than screenshots
  • Healthcare barriers: Many providers lack cultural competency for LGBTQ+ patients
  • Stigma and shame: Internalized and external stigma creates barriers to regular testing

This isn't performative allyship—this is community infrastructure built by people who live this reality every day.

How We're Different

We believe sexual health verification should be private, rewarding, and community-owned. Here's how we make that real:

🔐

Zero-Knowledge Privacy

Prove you've been tested without revealing what for, where, or results. It's mathematically impossible for us to access your private health data—even if we wanted to.

💎

Reward-Based Economy

Earn points for testing, redeem for real benefits. Behind the scenes, a sustainable economic model supports community health initiatives and testing access programs.

🤝

Community Ownership

As a Social Purpose Corporation, we're legally committed to community benefit over pure profit. This isn't just about building a business—it's about building community infrastructure.

📱

Dating App Integration

Share verification status directly on dating platforms without screenshots or privacy risks. Make sexual health part of normal dating culture, not an awkward afterthought.

Why We're a Social Purpose Corporation

We incorporated as a Social Purpose Corporation because our mission and financial success are naturally aligned. Building community trust, protecting privacy, and improving health outcomes isn't just good for society—it's good for business.

This structure allows us to make decisions that prioritize long-term community health alongside sustainable growth. We can invest in underserved communities, maintain privacy-first design, and keep our focus on reducing STI transmission rates—because these align with building a trusted, valuable platform.

Our Vision for LGBTQ+ Sexual Health

🔮

We envision a world where regular STI testing is normalized and celebrated in LGBTQ+ culture, where sexual health conversations happen without shame, and where community members can make informed decisions about intimate relationships with confidence and peace of mind.

Imagine LGBTQ+ sexual health where:

  • Getting tested is as normal as going to the gym—and just as rewarding
  • Dating app profiles include verification badges that actually mean something
  • Sexual health conversations happen naturally, without fear or judgment
  • Community members are financially rewarded for taking care of their health
  • Privacy is protected by mathematics, not just good intentions
  • Testing access is funded by community participation, not political whims

That's the world we're building—one verification at a time.
