January 2026 — Libertine Events and the Wanderlust Swingers Podcast are proud to announce the continuation and expansion of their partnership with STD Hero, naming the company the Exclusive Sexual Health & Wellness Partner for the full 2026 calendar year.
This long-term partnership represents a shared commitment to placing sexual health, education, and responsibility at the forefront of the ethically non-monogamous and sex-positive community, not just at live events, but year-round through consistent, accessible, and judgment-free education.
Why This Partnership?
For more than a decade, the Wanderlust Swingers Podcast has contributed to ongoing, real-world conversations about relationships, consent, communication, and sexual health. Libertine Events extends those same values into its live experiences, building consent-forward spaces where education, connection, and community come first.
This expanded 12-month partnership with STD Hero formalizes what has always been a core value:
Sexual freedom and sexual responsibility go hand in hand.
A Healthcare Partner, Not Just a Testing Company
In a major milestone for the company, STD Hero was recently approved as a PASS (Professional Association for Sexual Health) Certified Testing Partner, further reinforcing its commitment to clinical standards, ethical testing practices, and patient-centered care.
PASS certification is awarded only to providers that meet rigorous standards for accuracy, privacy, transparency, and medical oversight, signaling that STD Hero is not just a testing provider, but a trusted healthcare partner operating at the highest level of professional standards.
PASS approval is an important validation of the work we’re doing,” said Angela Brock, Co-Founder of STD Hero. “But what really matters is trust and this partnership with Libertine Events and Wanderlust Swingers is built on a shared belief that sexual health should be accessible, stigma-free, and part of everyday life in the lifestyle community”

STD Hero is a PASS-certified and CLIA-certified provider of at-home STI testing, focused on accessible, stigma-free sexual health testing and education. They work with medical professionals and certified laboratories to ensure accurate, private, and reliable results.
Yes. STD Hero is both PASS Certified and CLIA Certified, meaning they meet high standards for clinical testing, laboratory accuracy, patient privacy, and medical oversight.
For sexually active people in the lifestyle, especially those with multiple partners, most sexual health professionals recommend testing every 3 months, or: Before attending major events or lifestyle trips, When changing partners or relationship structures, After any potential exposure, Whenever symptoms or concerns arise, More frequent testing may be appropriate depending on personal risk factors and activity level.
Comprehensive testing is important. At a minimum, testing should include: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV, Trichomoniasis, MGen – Crucially, testing should include multiple sites, not just urine or blood:
✅ Oral (throat) swabs
✅ Anal (rectal) swabs
✅ Urine samples
✅ Blood samples
Many STIs can exist in the throat or rectum without showing up in urine tests, which is why multi-site testing is considered best practice in non-monogamous communities.
The honest answer is: often, you don’t. A large percentage of STIs are asymptomatic, meaning: You may have no visible symptoms, You may feel completely fine, You may still be able to transmit infections to partners, This is why regular, proactive testing is essential — not just testing when something “feels wrong.”
When provided by certified providers like STD Hero and processed through CLIA-certified laboratories, at-home STI tests are highly accurate and medically reliable. They use the same lab technology and standards as many in-clinic tests, with the added benefit of privacy and convenience.
No. All medical testing, data, and results are handled privately and directly between the individual and STD Hero. Libertine Events and Wanderlust Swingers do not receive, store, or access any personal medical information.
