iCondom App Promotes Safer Sex

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

August 15, 2011

A new app helps iPhone users find nearby places where condoms are available. The app's "crowd-sourced" information includes details on store hours as well as locations where free condoms are offered. The app's developers encourage users to add more information to keep the resource current. The app is the result of a partnership between MTV's "Staying Alive" campaign and iCondom. It can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store; visit http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/icondom-your-condom-dispenser/id397179684?mt=8.
