Stellatris Our Mission

The Paradox of Prevention

Biologically speaking, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in the modern day should be exceptionally rare. Unlike the flu, COVID 19, or the common cold, which travels through the air, STIs require specific, intimate contact to transmit. Yet, despite this, there are more than a million new STI infections daily.

Why? We believe the microorganisms aren't the biggest problem. The stigma is.

For centuries, society has treated STIs not as medical conditions, but as moral failings. Stigma creates fear. Fear prevents people from getting tested, disclosing their status, and notifying past partners when an infection occurs.

Stellatris exists to break that cycle. We believe that an infection is a medical event, not a character flaw.

Changing the Culture

Our goal is to shift the paradigm of sexual health from one of anxiety and secrecy to one of transparency and care. We are building a future where:

Testing is Routine: Just like going to the dentist, checking your status should be a standard part of self care.
Knowledge is Power: We provide the tools to share your status with new and existing partners before intimacy happens, without killing the mood.
Communication is Kindly Automated: We remove the burden of the "awkward conversation." If you test positive, our platform notifies your "constellation" anonymously. You'll also receive an anonymous notification for the reverse situation if one of your partners test positive.

What We Do

Stellatris is a secure, privacy first platform designed to reduce the spread of STIs through four core pillars:

Data Privacy & Security

We know you're putting an immense amount of trust in us with your data, which we take very seriously. We continuously review our processes and architecture to provide the highest security and privacy within our abilities, as well as align with HIPAA The US standard ensuring sensitive patient health information is protected and kept strictly confidential. , NIST 800 53 A rigorous and comprehensive catalog of security and privacy controls used to protect federal information systems. , and the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act The most stringent consumer privacy legislation in the nation, granting users maximum control over their personal data. .

Streamlined Notification

We handle the difficult work of contact tracing and anonymous notifications. If a user reports a positive result, we alert their relevant connections immediately to stop the chain of transmission.

Destigmatized Resources

Throughout our platform, we provide gentle nudges toward best practices for sexually active adults that follow the science, while maintaining compassion.

Empowered Users

Users are empowered with timely information to make risk informed decisions regarding their sexual health.
