A new Health Safety section has been added by Tinder to its website after a squabble with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Online daters can go on to the new section for tips to stay STD-free and find a link to Healthvana's free HIV and STD testing locator.

The new emphasis of Tinder on STD prevention has come after the AIDS Healthcare Foundation launched an advocacy campaign in September regarding sexual health and safety on dating sites. It particularly called out Tinder in billboards across Los Angeles and New York City.

Obviously, Tinder wasn’t happy at all about the billboards, and while speaking to BBC said that they represented ‘wholly unsubstantiated accusations’. The hookup app called them AHF attempt to attract people to ‘take an HIV test’ offered by the organization. However, now it seems the company has had changed its heart.

In a statement, the company's Lead Sociologist Jessica Carbino said, “Tinder is proud to empower millions of users to create relationships. An important aspect of healthy relationship, whether formed on Tinder or otherwise, is ensuring sexual health and safety. We'd be delighted to see social networks follow in our footsteps in educating public”.

On Thursday, the AHF said that it is going to take away its billboards and ads and mentioned that the hook up app has added a link to Healthvana's testing locator on its site.

While citing recent stats from the Centers for Disease Control, AHF's Senior Director of Public Health Engeran Cordova said that sexually transmitted disease infections have seen a dramatic increase in recent years, and most of the affected people comprised of young ones.

Cordova said in a statement that this is the reason why it was such a welcoming news that Tinder is going to add a Health Safety section along with a link to Healthvana, which would make it much easier for people to detect testing locations via an easily accessible, modern platform.
