Tinder makes STI clinics available after lengthy talks with Aids charity

Dating app's decision comes after dispute with HIV/Aids foundation over a billboard that linked Tinder-like apps with sexually transmitted diseases

Tinder's decision to provide users with a link to find local STI clinics was agreed in a series of "conversations" with the president of the world's largest HIV/Aids foundation following a spat over a billboard campaign that linked dating apps with sexually transmitted diseases.

Lawyers for the dating app sent an aggressive cease and desist letter to the Aids Healthcare Foundation after the organisation put up a billboard showing silhouetted figures leaning in for a kiss - one bearing the label "Tinder", the other "chlamydia." A second couple on the billboard were labelled "Grindr" and "syphilis".
