Meet Positives Introduces At-home Herpes Testing

Chicago, Illinois -

Herpes is one of the most common STDs around the world. There are many people living with herpes but the sad part is that most of them are not aware that they are living with this virus. This has presented major challenges in the fight against herpes and increased the spreading rate significantly.

Meet Positives is a site that provides a safe haven for people living with lifelong STDs and would love to get back into the dating scene. The site offers more than just a platform to mingle. Members can find useful information about the different STDs that affect them.

As part of spreading awareness, Meet Positives has decided to add a new service that helps people test for different STDS at home. This eliminates the stigma associated with STD testing.

According to Meet Positives, “Herpes is a viral infection resulting from two main herpes strains – herpes simplex virus 1 and herpes simplex virus 2. The infection is mostly referred to as oral or genital herpes depending on the part affected. The main symptoms are sore on the lips, mouth or genital area and anus. Herpes has no cure but the available treatment is effective in reducing or eliminating the annoying symptoms. An at-home STD test kit will help you find out if you have the virus or not.”

During the announcement, Jack Lombardi, founder of Meet Positives said, “We understand how daunting the testing process can get which is why we are providing at-home test kits to make sure that people are not kept away by stigma.”

The site says those interested should get an at-home test kit today.
