Animal Spot of the day. SNIFFERS: Dogs find STIs


SNIFFERS: Dogs find STIs. New public service tackles rise in sexually transmitted infections
Supported by http://Confidantetest.com, the home testing kit that checks for 10 STIs
We train dogs to detect sexually transmitted infections like herpes, chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhoea - patrolling streets and clubs around the UK and ROI to safeguard public health.

About the STI Detection Unit
In July 2014, Public Health England published a report expressing concern over the explosion in rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), with 446,253 new cases diagnosed in 2013 alone [https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads...]. As part of an initiative to counter the rising epidemic of STIs, the STI Detection Unit was created.

Making use of dogs’ incredible sense of smell, the unit trains ex-service dogs to detect 10 of the most commonly occurring infections in the general public. Notably, the unit cannot detect HIV. After a person has been identified as having a potential infection, they are referred for specialist treatment.

It is hoped that the presence of the unit will encourage the public to take greater care of their sexual health, for example by having regular STI tests.

Automotive ad of the day. Open Your Eyes - Lincoln

Open Your Eyes from The Lincoln Motor Company on Vimeo.
Open Your Eyes — a tale of new-found hope. Through Contreras' lens, we’re launched into the deep and dark thoughts of an elderly man who struggles to adapt to his recent blindness. His wife has passed and his daughter has moved into the city to chase after her dream career, leading him to live an isolated life in his secluded Louisiana farm house. When, for his 70th birthday, his daughter plans a surprise journey to all the places that marked his childhood, he attempts to regain the hope and joy for life he once knew. Narrated through a thank-you poem written by the father to his daughter, we’re left to see the world through his eyes, even as he can’t see for himself.
