The must have technology for Spring Break isn’t a map
or party guide – it’s a site that allows you to verify and check someone’s STD
status. Millions of students will head to a U.S. or international destination
this Spring Break. Unfortunately, the statistics are scary (see below). During
spring break, the average male reportedly drinks 18 alcohol drinks per day and
the average female 10 drinks per day. About half of the spring breakers drank
until they got sick or passed out at least once.
Unfortunately, many students engage in unsafe
activities and “let loose” while drinking. One website is helping people
practice “safe sex” this Spring Break. www.Qpid.me will send anyone an online
report of your STD status, as long as you authorize it. Qpid.me, an online
technology for anyone who wants to obtain, securely store and privately share
their STD results is FREE for anyone. “The reality is that college students and
even high school seniors take a trip during spring break, we are just trying to
help them make safer choices and realize it’s essential to protect yourself if
you choose to engage in sexual activity with someone you don’t know well,” said
Ramin Bastani, creator of Qpid.me.
