Teens tap into sexual advice via text

texting
Text Sam received more than 42,000 requests for information during a pilot scheme.
This article was corrected on Friday August 10 2007


The article below had mistakenly stated that almost 90% of young people
in the London boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth have had a sexually
transmitted disease, when that figure actually applied to the
percentage of young people surveyed in the boroughs who would welcome
the Text Sam service.


A charity is rolling
out a pioneering service that gives young people sexual health advice
by text message after a successful pilot in the two boroughs with the
highest rate of sexually transmitted disease in Europe.

Safe
Haven is launching Text Sam across Britain to provide information for
young men and women about contraception, sexually transmitted diseases,
pregnancy and sexuality.
