Systems and methods for improving the privacy-protection of the exchange of STD test results and the utility of STD test results

摘要

Various aspects of the invention provide systems and methods for improving the privacy-protection of the exchange of STD's test results and the utility of STD test results. One aspect of the invention provides a computer-implemented method of improving privacy-protection during the exchange of STD test results by preventing the exchange of STD test results if user-definable criteria are not met and deliberately obscuring the cause of prevented attempts at exchanging STD test results. The method includes providing a software application for importing STD test results; inputting criteria; attempting to exchange STD test results; and either preventing or allowing the exchange of STD test results at a plurality of stages. Another aspect of the invention provides a computer-implemented method of improving the utility of STD test results by recommending safe sexual contact practices and sexual health-related products and services based upon the use of algorithms.

1. A method of improving privacy-protection during the exchange of STD test results, the method comprising:
importing STD test results and identification information of the individual user; importing business and business identification information of the establishment user; the user selecting presets for STD-related criteria and minimum requirements for the exchange of STD test results to occur; the user manually inputting user-definable criteria and minimum requirements; the establishment user inputting user-definable criteria and minimum requirements; the user attempting to exchange STD test results with other users; displaying percentages of criteria met after adjusting for criterion weight functions if all involved parties meet all users' minimum requirements; and displaying STD test results only if all users allow the exchange of STD test results; thereby improving the privacy-protection of the exchange of STD test results.
