The implication of what you're saying is that the safest people to have sex 
with are porn stars - they have mandatory STD checks every month.

 A number of years ago, I read a short rap by one of my favorite authors, 
Ursula K. Le Guin. In it, she brilliantly pinpointed something about the 
"sexual revolution" that I had never seen pinpointed before, and have rarely 
since -- its brevity. 

She defined the "sexual revolution" as that short period of history that 
existed between the invention of penicillin and the birth control pill, and the 
entrance of AIDS. 

That was it, according to her. At *every other time in human history*, having 
sex was a potentially fatal experience. Women could easily die in childbirth, 
and before penicillin diseases like syphilis were largely untreatable, and 
sometimes fatal. 

We now live in the post-sexual-revolution era. At this point, sex has become a 
potentially fatal experience again, or at the very least, an experience that 
could lead to some non-fatal but pretty devastating STDs. 

That's why I see this guy, and his app, kinda as heroes in the ongoing sexual 
revolution. He took a problem and solved it, fairly gracefully.
