Our Philosophy

Anteros Bio is a Boston-based intimate health company. We make the first and only at-home vaginal and penile microbiome test built for couples, so both partners can see their results side by side.

Intimacy is one of the most human ways we connect. It is how we build trust, express affection, share vulnerability, and create meaningful connections with one another.

Yet beneath these moments is a part of our biology we rarely think about: the intimate microbiome. An ecosystem of microorganisms that exists within and between us, influencing the environments that shape our intimate health.

We exist to change how we understand it.

Because intimacy connects us. Science helps us understand what happens beneath the surface.

Founder's Note

Anteros Bio began with a personal experience and a question I couldn't stop asking: why do we know so little about the microbiome behind our most intimate relationships?

After years of navigating recurrent UTIs, I became determined to better understand the connection between intimate health, microbial ecosystems, and our partners.

What started as a search for answers grew into a mission to make microbiome science more accessible and bring a new perspective to sexual health.

We're still asking questions, challenging assumptions, and learning along the way. What began as a personal pursuit has become a mission to help people better understand themselves, their partners, and the biology behind their connection.

Thank you for being part of it.

With gratitude, Denisa Kim
