First, it is vital to disclose one’s status to one’s partner before having sex. But it is also important not to disclose one’s STD in one’s profile. Instead, get to know someone who appears to have an open mind and disclose one’s status at the appropriate time. Second, it is essential to understand as much as possible about one’s STD. Third, it is important to be ready for questions from one’s partner, which is another good reason why it is essential to understand one’s STD. And finally, it is always a good idea to use protection measures to prevent chances of infection.

Michael Task, a spokesperson for MeetPositives.com, says, “Built for STD positive people, MP (Meet Positives) is an alternative to dating and a second chance for positive people who live with a sexually transmitted disease. Our goal is to help impacted people feel normal again in a relationship. MP helps positive singles avoid the embarrassment and possible rejection by telling a potential mate about their condition.

With regards to herpes, the herpes virus, which is either HSV-1 (oral herpes) or HSV-2 (genital herpes), there are usually no noticeable symptoms, except during brief outbreaks. Furthermore, herpes infections generally don’t result into serious medical issues although sometimes they can have some complications. Meanwhile, approximately one out of six Americans between ages 14 and 49 are estimated to have HSV-2. And those who are aware that they are herpes positive are often afraid of dating because they fear the potential rejection from someone who is not herpes positive like them. Meet Positives offers the solution, which is to have a community made of singles who are positive with herpes or any other kind of STD. This means that members of the community are already aware that other members are STD positive and they can even look for those who are specifically herpes positive. Members already understand the concerns of positive singles and they can even share their experiences through an online bulletin board and also offer some dating advice to positive singles.

Michael Task says, “Meeting others who suffer from the same conditions offers you peace of mind. Our members understand you, understand your fears and looking forward to feeling normal again.”
