MTV Staying Alive and iCondom are asking everyone to join them in the fight to help prevent the transmission of HIV, AIDS and other STIs. Together we are creating the world’s largest condom distribution map for iPhone, the first user-generated map of its kind. iCondom is the only international app for iPhone that locates the condom dispensers nearest to you and shows you their locations on a map. You can rate and comment on dispensers so that others will have up-to-date information on the quality of the dispenser. Building up a database of this kind is not easy, so MTV Staying Alive and iCondom are hoping you will help us out by adding new dispenser locations directly from the app. Together, we can make it easier for people to avoid putting themselves and others at risk.
