The onsexprime.fr site created by the National Institute for Prevention and Health Education (Inpes) aims to support young people in sexuality.
This information site wants to become the friend of teenagers who dare not ask questions and parents who often find themselves helpless in the face of their offspring’s questions.
Fantastic Capote and Wonder Capote are their two new super heroes whose mission is to transmit key information on sexuality, the means of contraception, sexually transmitted diseases and the prevention of unintended pregnancies.
Helping young people to use condoms
An effective condom is a properly worn condom. What precautions to open it? How to put it? How to remove it? Teenagers now have access, on onsexprime.fr, to the first interactive instructions for use of the male and female condom. Using the mouse, the user simulates, on explicit drawings, the gesture of each of the main stages of the correct use of the condom.
Motivate young people to protect themselves
7 out of 10 French students know that using a condomhelps protect against sexually transmitted infection or AIDS. It is also a means of contraception for 66% of them, according to the annual survey of the Smerep / Harris Interactive, on the health of the students.
Yet 67% do not systematically use a condom, this survey also reveals.
Inpes has created a video clip in the form of animation borrowing the codes of superheroes. It features Fantastic Capote and Wonder Capote, who accomplish their mission of protection by delivering messages of prevention and helping young people make the right decision.
As a reminder, each year, more than 6,000 new HIV infections are discovered in France. People are mainly infected through sexual intercourse. The National Institute for Health Surveillance (INVS) estimates that 30,000 to 40,000 people are unaware that they are HIV positive. Today, 150,000 people are living with HIV in France and 12% of HIV positive findings concern 15-25 year olds.
