Analyte Health Expands Reach, Ease of STD Testing

Company Doubles Number of Clinical Laboratories in its Service Network

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analyte Health, Inc., a privately held online medical services company offering specialty care, counseling and convenience not available in traditional primary care settings, today announced that it has doubled the number of contracted clinical laboratories in its network from 2,000 to 4,000 since 2011.

“Our company is uniquely positioned as the leader in online medical services because of our combination of highly trained, professional medical personnel and state-of-the-art technology and systems.”

Analyte Health operates through two consumer facing businesses: Sexualhealth.com and STDTestExpress.com. The company is growing its network in response to increasing demand, which has more than doubled since 2010. With doctors licensed in all 50 states, Analyte Health not only offers real-time online/telephone scheduling and convenient STD testing at nationally recognized labs, the company also provides professional medical support for individuals with positive test results.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are on the rise in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 19 million new infections occur every year, and these infections cost the U.S. health system $17 billion annually.

“Analyte Health is committed to improving U.S. public health by making STD testing convenient, confidential and faster than alternative brick and mortar options,” noted Analyte Health President and CEO Sridhar Murthy. “We built a system that delivers a better experience for the consumer by providing more accessible options to populations that are often underserved, and ultimately we aim to minimize the stigma of STD testing.”

In five years, Analyte Health’s online medical service has seen its model proven out dramatically with more than 80,000 patient encounters.

“The need for safe, convenient STD testing services is well documented,” said Tony Priore, Chief Marketing Officer for Analyte Health. “Our company is uniquely positioned as the leader in online medical services because of our combination of highly trained, professional medical personnel and state-of-the-art technology and systems.”
