“We are kickstarting a revolution for sexual healthcare with our home-testing kits and knowledge hub. We consider it critical for everyone to learn more about safe sex practices. Our self-testing kits are a perfect solution to ensure we are all routinely taking care of our sexual health. Ferne Health is on a mission to challenge existing cultural norms across the region and transform how people view sexual health,” said Liu.

“STIs can result in anything from a mild inconvenience to very serious conditions including infertility and even some cancers,” Vivek Manoharan, co-founder and chief scientific officer for Ferne Health said. “Luckily, if detected early, we can greatly increase the chance of preventing or successfully managing many of these complications.”Unlike common cold or allergies, symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases are more complicated.
