The ABC’s of SEX offered for free

The first “Your Personal Sexual Health” App in the country is being offered by the Mississippi State Department of Health. It can be downloaded on IPhone or Android phones by going to your App Store.”This app really gives Mississippi an edge on sexual health knowledge and action,” said MSDH State Epidemiologist Dr. Thomas Dobbs.  “It’s a convenient way to get the answers to the questions you’ve always had but maybe didn’t feel comfortable asking.”

Health officials say “Your PSH” is designed to promote sexual health, but also offers information about Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD). MSDH reports Mississippi has the 10th highest rate of HIV infection in the United States. Testing for HIV and other STDs is offered free at county health department clinics.

Condoms are also offered for free. Instruction on properly using them is offered in detail on the “Your PSH” app. The app also addresses myths and facts about HIV/STDs, prevention tips and determining risk level.

To find the app, search Your PSH on your phone’s app store.
