myLAB Box Launches Celebrity-inspired HIV Home Testing Sale

LOS ANGELES - Sept. 2, 2016 - PRLog -- myLAB Box, the first nationwide at-home STD testing service, today announced a special month-long sale in honor of the celebrity faces of HIV awareness.

In the 90s, legendary rock star Freddie Mercury became the face of HIV/AIDS. Last year, Charlie Sheen's admission that he is HIV-positive put HIV testing back on the minds of the American public. To address increased interest in HIV testing since the news, myLAB Box will offer a special 40 percent off sale, through the month of September.

In addition to the positive diagnosis, however, Sheen and Mercury share one more important trait - they both initially kept their diagnoses a secret because of the stigma surrounding HIV. By revealing their diagnosis publically, each has inspired millions  to take control of their sexual health. Empowering people to take charge of their life and their health is precisely myLAB Box's mission.

"myLAB Box is glad to see this recent increase in HIV awareness. Sheen and Mercury's bravery in revealing their status to the world has brought STD testing to the forefront," said Lora Ivanova, Co-Founder and CMO of myLAB Box.  "Our campaign aims to help even more people get tested. Together, we can eventually defeat this horrible disease."

While the true heroes in the fight against HIV are the medical professionals working towards a cure, putting a recognizable face to the issue makes it more relatable. In honor of World Sexual Health Day (WSHD), myLAB Box will be celebrating the lives and roles that brave HIV-positive individuals play in raising awareness around this important issue.

With Sheen and Mercury's birthdays bordering the WSHD, myLAB Box launches a month-long commemorative sale.

Starting on September 3, the company will be offering a 40 percent discount on its HIV testing packages with the offer code: "AIDSAWARE"
