BasisDx’s Free STI Tests ‘Steal the Spotlight’ at Urban X Awards

By providing free testing kits to professionals in attendance, BasisDx “underscored the industry’s ongoing commitment to sexual health and safety,” the company added.

Hosted by Nicole Kitt, Carmela Clutch, and Jenna Foxx, the Urban X Awards gathered top talent from throughout the adult industry. Through their attendance and test giveaway, BasisDx “ensured that the spotlight wasn’t just on the stars but also on the importance of sexual health,” the company said.

Throughout the weekend, which included events like the Hall of Fame dinner, a lingerie party at The Players Club (“attended by Snoop Dog himself,” the company noted), and a white party at Harbor House, BasisDx “made its PASS-certified Pro13 testing kits available to all attendees, giving out hundreds of kits to partygoers.”

“BasisDx emphasized that STI testing is not just a routine procedure but a cornerstone of the adult industry’s dedication to maintaining high safety standards (in particular, PASS certification standards),” the company said in the statement. “This initiative was designed to make testing more accessible and convenient for professionals who often face demanding schedules and reinforce the security and validity of testing.”

Dr. Andreas Kogelnik, CEO of BasisDx, said the company is “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,” Kogelnik added. “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.”

“Through this partnership, BasisDx not only supported the health of those in the adult industry but also reinforced the importance of regular STI testing as a vital aspect of their safety protocols,” the company said. “This initiative serves as a reminder of the industry’s ongoing commitment to sexual health and the measures taken to protect its community.”

Dr. Kogelnik also has recently announced a new regular subscription model for adult entertainment companies to offer regular testing kits with results delivered directly to PASS within 24-48 hours of sample receipt, “truly revolutionizing the way the industry tests,” the company said.
