Grindr partners with public health initiative to provide free at-home HIV tests.

Grindr, the popular LGBTQ+ dating app, has partnered with public health programs and gay dating apps to distribute free at-home HIV tests to US-based users. The program, called "TakeMeHome," aims to give away 1 million kits over the next five years and has already given away 125,000 kits, with one-third going to people taking a test for the first time. The OraQuick kit, an FDA-approved, over-the-counter test, takes around 20 minutes to see results and works by swabbing the gums. Grindr hopes to expand the program to other countries.
