ආයුබෝවන් friends!

Today we would like to get into the details of what we will be covering in Sexual Health Quiz or SHQ for short. We know the feeling well... "I think its a good service, I dont mind spending around Rs. 30 a month... But what am I getting?..."

Rest assured යහලුවෙනි all will be answered in this post! We see health as it ought to be seen: physical, mental and social wellness. So SHQ will cover the following areas:


1. Sexually Transmitted Diseases
When one thinks of health it hard to escape its counterpart: disease. Like it or not we need to have a basic knowledge on dangerous illness like AIDS, Syphilis as well as minor ailments like a UTI. Either way SHQ will provide some answers to these questions!

2. Sexual Psychology
We are all human. At times our thoughts are not pure. We start to see people in a way they dont want to be seen. We search for ♥ in all the wrong places. The problem is in the mind! In SHQ we empower you with the mental aspect of sexual health. From depression to dysfunction we shall start your knowledge of discovery.


3. Social Scenarios
Society කියන්නේ මාරු වෙන සතෙක්! We are sometimes put in various situations where we find it difficult to respond. Sometimes we think "அநியாயம்! මට මේවගේ කියන්ඩ තිබුණා!". So we went and started collecting some situations like this put them in the quiz so you can be prepared to face those awkward moments better than ever before!

So these are the three areas we shall cover in sexual health: physical, mental and social sexual health? Think we got our bases covered? Email us with your suggestions!

Why do I need to දැනගන්ඩ about sexual health anyway?

ආයුබෝවන් යහළුවෙනි & வணக்கம்!

If you have asked this question you are absolutely right in doing so! Why DO we need to know this stuff about sexual health? Why is a quiz like SHQ important?

We often look at others and think එක මට වෙන්නේ නෑ නේ. You see your friends sometimes breaking bad news about their පිස්සු වැඩේ with their "GF" or "BF" and now dont what to do and where to turn. What if you could help them? What if you could help yourself?

Here are some of our top reasons to learn with tools like SHQ...

1. You become knowledgable about the basics.
No more are you afraid to speak out when people say doing it is "cool". No more!

2. Now it becomes "cool" to know.People start to respect you for what you know. දැන් ඔයාගේ දැනුම "cool" වෙලා!

3. You can help yourself and people in trouble.
Perhaps its a contraceptive you learnt about which you tell your newly married sister or maybe its an emergency of a friend. Either way tools like SHQ will help you help them and yourself.

4. STD's are no joke.
STD's or "Sexually Transmitted Diseases" are very serious diseases which not only cause physical problens but psychological problems as well! SHQ will give you some information on this!
.
So perhaps we have shed some light about the importance of knowing sexual health. Why not try our quiz and see for yourself?

To start: send REG<space>SHQ to 4499 & wait for the message! ලේසි!

How did SHQ begin?

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to our පලවෙනි post on sexual health in Sri Lanka. We would like to start off by giving an introduction to this idea.

Back in 2010 a group of software engineers and a medical student from UniverSL Software, teamed up with Western Hospital with a common goal: to enlighten the Sri Lankan public about a subject which sounded taboo but had very real problems: sexual health.

For months we thought about this problem. How could we give useful information in an accessible way? The main problem we saw was of course the main reason this subject has not got its due: people don't like to ask someone and find out about it, but finally end up doing something they regret.

Finally we had a breakthrough: We teamed up with Etisalat Appzone to bring this important information to the one place people would learn and be comfortable with.... your mobile phone! All people would have to do was to type REG<space>SHQ and send it to 4499 on an Etisalat connection and they would instantly start learning! මේකට වැඩිය easy විදියක් නැහැ!

Things to know about SHQ

• Its a mobile subscription service which means you will practically learn every day!
• Activation is by typing REG<space>SHQ and sending it to 4499
• To learn all the features of SHQ you have to type SHQ<space>HELP and send it to 4499

Starting from August 1st we have some super news as well...
