About

HIV and STDs among men who have sex with men (MSM) are a major public health concern. Most MSM's don’t know what they need to take care of their sexual health. A San Francisco study of MSM's – five years into a syphilis epidemic among MSM – found that only about 70% knew how often it was recommended that they get tested for syphilis. And less than 40% got tested according to the recommendation. Doctors don’t know how to take care of MSM patients either. MSM's have no good or easy source for knowing what they need. Dr. Dick could be an important part of the solution, by providing a user-friendly, interactive mobile-based guide that educates MSM's on taking care of their sexual health.
