STD-Meet.com Fosters an Environment Where Over 1 Million Singles Can Make Connections and Find Support

The Short Version: Dating can be an intimidating and discouraging experience for singles who have tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease or infection, but it doesn’t have to be that way. STD-Meet.com was designed to bring singles with STDs and STIs together in an understanding and safe space. The site allows users to access a network of more than 1 million people looking for love and friendship with its easy profile creation and robust search capabilities. STD-Meet.com is private and secure and offers access to other benefits such as live STD counselors who can answer questions. The site’s goal is to be a place where you can find a partner and not let your STD or STI define who you are.

Living with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or sexually transmitted infection (STI) is common for a lot of people in today’s world. An STD can lead a person on an embarrassing and physically uncomfortable journey.

After diagnosis and starting treatment, people often think the hardest moments have passed, but then they meet someone they want to date.

It could be the person of their dreams or just someone who is fun to be around, and intimacy typically enters the conversation. Now, the person is in a situation where he or she has to pause the romance to disclose a diagnosis — not knowing where that news will lead.

STD-Meet.com provides a place for daters to meet without worrying about an awkward disclosure conversation.

Many times, that conversation is strained and uncomfortable. Sometimes, the relationship ends immediately, while other times it can slowly dwindle away. Some daters even respect the disclosure and want to learn more about how to be sexually safe together.

STD-Meet.com is a dating site that can help singles avoid some of those awkward situations. The site is designed for singles living with STDs who are looking for a pressure-free community of love and support.

Through STD-Meet.com, singles have the opportunity to approach dating without the prospect of an uncomfortable disclosure hanging over their heads from the moment they meet someone. Instead, they can be upfront about it and feel free to get to know the other person.

STD-Meet’s free sign-up process takes less than 10 minutes to complete. The mandatory fields cover basic personal information like age, sexual orientation, and general location. Unlike most dating sites, STD-Meet also asks about your STD or STI status, specifically asking singles to disclose if they have HSV-1, HSV-2, Herpes, or HPV. It’s a practical way to disclose the information that can save you time and feelings of shame in the future.

Setting up the profile is also fast, and users provide a brief description of themselves, who they are looking for, and what their relationship goals are. Users can add questions to their profile for others to answer, helping find areas of common interest. Finally, uploading photos to your profile can help attract potential suitors.

STD-Meet.com takes privacy seriously, and its process is meant to keep user data secure.

After creating a profile, STD-Meet emails users to verify their account and add another level of security. It’s an effective way to ensure users are real.

Search features range from standard to advanced, and users can filter results by location, gender, and age on a basic search. For something a little more tailored, users can upgrade to a paid membership to take advantage of the site’s advanced search options. Those include religion, education, children, body type, and, of course, the type of STD with which the user is living — among several others.

STD-Meet.com offers several ways to connect with other singles on the site. Winks and one-liners are simple ways to tell someone you think they’re cute. They’re easy to send; you just pick an option from the menu and send it to the member — or members — in whom you’re interested. You can send up to 50 winks per day.

The news section on STD-Meet.com is filled with helpful information and resources.

Gold and Premium Members can send messages to other members. Start a conversation about what you have in common, or ask them questions to learn more about them. Everyone, including Standard Members, can respond to messages they receive.

If you dislike the agony of waiting for a response, try the live chat feature. Members who are online at the same time can talk in real time with the feature.

The Articles and News section of STD-Meet tackles pressing issues and concerns for those living with STDs, including how to stay healthy and ways to deal with social stigmas.

The post “Is It Safe to Date a Person With Herpes?” answers many common questions that people are often scared to ask. It explains how herpes is spread, breaks down common misconceptions, and offers advice about dating someone with herpes.

Another post, “Effective Ways to Get Help After Being Infected With Herpes,” is a great place to start for those who have been recently diagnosed. It discusses how to manage the disease, prevent transmission, and romantically coexist with your dates. The advice and writing are clear-cut and hopeful without being unrealistic.

While many people are living with STDs and STIs today, it can still be embarrassing to have a disclosure conversation with a potential partner. With more than 2,000 success stories, STD-Meet is hoping to change that by helping singles with these diagnoses more easily find their soul mates.

One user said: “We met on the site and messaged a bit; the chemistry was evident right away. So we took up texting and then phone calls. We met each other in person, and it was love at first sight. We are now committed to each other and credit this site for us ever being able to meet.”

Another couple out of Georgia cheekily titled their story “Started With a Wink.” The user said: “He winked at me, and, lucky for him, he had an outstandingly well-written profile complete with pics. I was very intrigued and had to know more about him. We share so many things in common with enough differences to keep things interesting. It’s been six months and, my, how fast it flies by without unnecessary drama.”

Some STD-Meet couples have kids, and others are moving across the country for each other. Many of their stories share a common theme: They believed they’d never find love after diagnosis. STD-Meet.com is proving that to be a misconception.
