Think of places like Kathmandu, Delhi, Mumbai, Kampala, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Lima, Buenos Aires, Mexico City. Each city has large numbers of sexually active urban youth at risk for HIV, STDs, unplanned pregnancies, and gender violence. While these youth may be disenfranchised in many ways, when they do have monies, the first thing they do is spend it on cell phones (SIM cards, mobile access). Cell phones are their connections, their life lines, their support.

A wonderful and very realistic campaign about STD. It is really hard to control if there will be no guidance and education about STD. We need to make changes due to a high rate of STD. I will support this and it really gives good cause for them to have a better future. 

The addiction can be a great problem for any parent and the addiction can be in different ways and the treatment for the drug rehabilitation or any other kind of rehabilitation because the addiction is a disease .

SMS messaging sounds a reasonable idea of spreading the word out (campaign) to the younger generation, since they are very attached to their mibiles this days.  It would also help to make a fun application to incorporate in your awareness program.  It can be a bit of a challenge, but it can also be mentally stimulating perfect for teens.  Mobile development platform keeps on innovating to fit our needs in the future, this is a the platform that you might want to consider when making a customised mobile application.

We are looking for help with development of a global scalability and sustainability plan. By following our best practices within each urban area where we launch, we already have the start of a good model. We have also tackled some difficult situations with community members, health officials and industry. Thanks for sharing the information.

Well the reality is that kids these days start their sexual life too early and I do not see what the rush is for them , not to mention that the unhealthy foods and lifestyle get them growing much faster and looking 20 by the age of 15 so no wonder they start behaving this way taking drugs and everything , man I am afraid of my kids growing up a little, and the best way is to send them to a Church maybe for a few years or to some drug rehab center if they already have the problem.

Thank you for having this wonderful program. You are a life-saver. I support your advocacy to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence.By working together we can highlight sexual violence as a major issue in our communities and reinforce the need for prevention efforts.

For a lot of young people the mobile internet is largely about social networking - look at mxit in South Africa, friendster in Indonesia. Therefore this is an area worth looking at - Lovelife are already trying it in South Africa with http://www.mymsta.mobi/ - not sure about the reach, maybe best to check with them.

The current mobile site at http://m.sextextsf.org/ seems to be a bit non-standard - see http://www.ready.mobi/results.jsp?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fm.sextextsf.org%2F&locale=en_EN - fortunately the problems shouldn't be too hard to fix.

I must admit this project is well-developed. It must work especially in education.

Just wanted to show our support for this very interesting service. With >60% of young people living in mobile only (ie. no fixed landline) homes this should be very helpful in reaching difficult to serve patient groups.
