Reuters inSPOT snowball - and that's a good thing

On Valentine's Day Reuters touted inSPOT as another tool in the tool belt for putting the smack on rising syphilis rates in New York City. We agree, it's a sharp tool indeed.

Quick to follow Reuters was the DC culture blog Heybeus who called us inSPOT creators "tech-savvy, crotch burny San Franciscan[s]." And we totally take that as a compliment.

And the snowball gained ground... another wink and a nod from Vermont and our own local wit, SF Weekly.

More buzz = more awareness about STD and HIV notification options = more responsibility taken!

inSPOT NYC gets a boost

Michael Bloomberg himself, New York City's Mayor, cited inSPOT/NYC as an important tool to help stop the spread of syphilis. The city is experiencing a hike in cases, and has been for the last few years. Check out Reuters Valentine's Day coverage.

Inspot is an easy way to tell your partners that you care about them and that they should get tested. Sometimes its not easy to tell people face to face, or you may not know how to find someone except by email. That's why there's inSPOT!

If you live in New York City and want to find a place to get tested for syphilis, the inSPOT website includes a map that is searchable by zip code.

There are free testing services available in all burroughs, so don't delay. It's just a little stick, but it makes a big difference.
