SexINFO

Challenges Entered: 
Currently, there are two parts to SexINFO. One is a static menu of Questions and Answers that can be accessed by texting SEXINFO to 61827 or 917.957.4280 (Metro PCS users). Common questions such as, "What should I do if the condom broke?" or “What if I'm not sure I want to have sex?" are answered in 160 character format with some basic information and two local clinic/testing sites. There is a companion website to the mobile platform at www.sextextsf.org. The second part is a WAP site viewable from mobile phones at m.sextext.orgFrom usability testing, we realized that more and more youth are accessing the Internet via their mobile phones, and that youth are downloading ringtones and wallpaper to customize their user experience. We are looking to expand the service and make it more engaging to utilize the fact that mobile phones are becoming ubiquitous among urban youth at risk for STDs, including HIV.
