This may be the final frontier for privacy: a social networking mobile app to share information about sexually transmitted diseases.
And while it may seem off-putting, a company called Hula is attempting to execute the concept in a way that is discrete and promotes healthiness. By enabling sharing of verified test results, the Hula app, which formerly went by Qpid.me, aims to make a certain conversation between prospective romantic partners "less awkward," according to the company's website.

Hula has two main functions: helping a user to get tested and then sharing the results. The app provides lists of local testing clinics and doctors. After getting tested, a user can sign up for Hula with personal information and details about the test location. The app then sends a medical records request to the person's specified care provider and eventually uploads the results.
To share results, a user creates a profile, just like with other social networks. Hula allows for a number of different privacy settings to ensure only the people you want will see your results.
