The University of Oregon Health Center is launching a smartphone app titled SexPositive. It is already available for the iPhone and will be coming to Android phones soon.

The app aims to combine technology, language and tone that appeal to 18-23-year-olds to help students make healthy sexual decisions. The goals of the app are to decrease transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and sexual violence, increase healthy communication and establish the Health Center as a trusted resource of information for students.

The app provides information about STI risks, information about a wide variety of sexual experiences and safer sex practices. It norms sex positive, gender-neutral language to destigmatize communication about sex.
