My Co-Worker Judi B. just passed this along to me. I copied the info as follows below, but just want to pipe in that I’ve tried it from my mobile and it works great!
Everyone can use this bit of knowledge, but I hope that educators and folks working with youth especially get this info out loud and clear so that sex information is as easy as a txt msg.
[TEXT "SEXINFO" to 61827, or if you're a Metro PCS User, (917) 957-4280... and get sex information texted to your cellphone.]

In April ‘07, Access SF was hired by the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s STD DIVISION to produce a set of original PSAs for Sex Info, a pilot sexual health text messaging service for young people in San Francisco. LEARN MORE – http://sextextsf.org. Last year, Sex Info was the recipient of a grant from Full Circle Fund, a unique engaged philanthropy fund that matches local dollars with local talent who volunteer their time. In this case, a team of technology and marketing professionals from Full Circle Fund supported the development of the PSAs – collaborating with Access SF staff, SFDPH staff and a team of youth health outreach workers. The final spots were recorded during June/July ‘07, featuring a group of local African American youth as talent and local rapper Mistah F.A.B., who is very popular among the Sex Info target population. The PSA package will be launched in fall ‘07 as part of an overall marketing campaign designed to expand awareness and usage of this one-of-a-kind text messaging service for youth.

Hey Goodvibes! Thanks for helping us spread the word about SEXINFO. I work at ISIS and we are excited about the ramp up of the service. Cheers!
