(Menlo Park, CA) Pro13 has been excelling for the last year, establishing itself as the gold standard for at-home PASS-certified testing in the industry and beyond. With its success, the team has moved the Pro13 to ProDx Health prodxhealth.com. Now, they have joined forces with The Play, a revolutionary player in the LA Lifestyle event sector, and will be its official testing partner.
The Play hosts unique, curated members-only play parties, truly an original in the lifestyle, offering creative events and community bonding. With seven years in the game, The Play is the most exclusive play party around, and everyone wants to be on the list to become members and attend their events. Another thing that sets them apart is their five exceptional Community Pillars. The first is Care. The Play is a trailblazer because it’s the only ticketed event requiring STI testing, redefining the culture of play parties by normalizing testing and prioritizing people knowing their status. This is where ProDx Health comes in. With free clinics rapidly closing and fewer testing options, ProDx Health is the ideal partner for The Play.
To celebrate their partnership, ProDx Health has created a special kit for The Play, called the Play Safe Pro Home Collection Kit, for $179 at prodxhealth.com/products/play-safe-pro-home-collection-kit. The Play members can add the kit to their cart at checkout when paying for events and receive a 12% discount. They can also use the code PLAYSAFE to get a discount on the ProDx site if they choose to purchase it there.
“We are thrilled to be the official testing partner with The Play LA and look forward to a long relationship with Michael and his team. They’ve been incredible to work with, and we love the vibe and emphasis on safety. They completely understand how important testing and knowing your status is,” says Dr. K, ProDx Health’s founder and CEO.
“ProDx Health aligns perfectly with our first Community Pillar. We love how easy the tests are to execute, the quick turnaround, stellar customer service, and that they created a kit just for us. Knowing your status is priceless and, of course, required for our play parties. Additionally, our members receive free kits for our major Halloween event at checkout. This is a win-win for everyone,” says the Founder, CEO, and Creative Director of The Play in Los Angeles.
