STI dating websites becoming more common.
An STD diagnosis can be earth-shattering.
Well it may come as a shock, but there is an abundance of dating websites popping up, targeting singles with sexually transmitted infections.
One United Kingdom based site, PositiveSingles gained 100,000 new members worldwide last year alone. Another option is DatePositive which contains over 6,000 profiles of love seekers. It allows users to search for potential mates by filtering infection types.
The websites allow singles to put as little or as much information about their condition as they want on their profiles. Not all medical personnel are happy with the sites, believing they promote unsafe sex between two partners sharing the same disease.
The websites definitely have a massive target audience. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are a reported 20 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections each year in the United States alone.
What do you think? Are such dating sites a good idea? What other unusual dating sites have you come across?
