The first at-home PASS-certified testing kit, Pro13, has excelled over the past year, establishing itself as the gold standard for at-home testing across the industry and beyond. Now, they are the first recipient of the Urban X Innovator Award from the 2026 Urban X Awards.
The Urban X Awards announced their nominees in over 50 categories, including many new ones. One of those was the Urban X Innovator Award. ProDx Health was not a nominee—they will be presented the award at the ceremony in August for making testing available to more people across the country who previously didn’t have access to labs near them, setting the industry standard with a test that performers and creators can easily do at home, verifying their identities through a stringent process, providing quick and reliable results, and changing the face of testing in the adult industry.
Founder and CEO Dr. K and marketing maniac Dustin Rybka plan to attend the Urban X Weekend of events and accept the trophy in person on stage at the ceremony.
“When we saw that Urban X was presenting us with the Innovator Award, we were speechless. It’s incredible to be recognized for our hard work and what we’ve brought to the industry. We’re truly honored that Giana and her team are giving us such an esteemed award,” says Dr. K, ProDx Health’s founder and CEO.
The Urban X Awards takes place on Sunday, August 16th at 9ThirtyLA located at 930 Mateo Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The red carpet is from 5pm to 7pm and the award show is right after, from 7:30pm to 10:30pm.
