New App Aims to Stamp Out STD Stigma, Make Testing ‘Suck Less’

Founder Ramin Bastani's squeaky clean profile. The app is called Hula, and founder and CEO Ramin Bastani hopes that through word of mouth and partnerships with dating websites and public health organizations, it will encourage people to have honest conversations when it comes to sex, and improve their health, too. In his research, Mr. Bastani found health centers that flat out denied him, or carried exorbitant surprise fees. "We want to bring transparency to the STD testing world," Mr. Bastani said in a phone interview with Betabeat.
