WHO WE ARE
We are a group of HIV and STD prevention organizations who have come together to support sexual health. Many of us are from the community ourselves. We also have our own sex lives, and know from our personal experience that it can be hard to tell partners that they may have been exposed to an STD. We also know it feels better knowing that we’re taking care of our partners’ health. We believe that the more ways we have of telling our partners, the better off we’ll all be.
HOW THIS WORKS
There are five sections and takes less than 2 minutes to complete.
Text a sexual partner that they might be at risk of an STD. If you text a partner, it will ALWAYS be anonymous. (Keep in mind that if your partner has only had sex with you, they’ll likely know it was from you).
You will be required to authenticate you are a real person and not sending a malicious text by authenticating through a text. This step will not reveal your identity and will still send an anonymous text.
The message that will be sent will look like this:
This is an important message about your health.
Please do not reply to this text.
Through an anonymous notification service, one of your sexual partners wants to make sure you know that you may have been exposed to (diseases selected will be listed here).
Since you may not have any symptoms, we recommend getting tested.
