Dating is hard. Dating with an incurable STD makes it even harder. But I refuse to let my
positive
status limit myself, so I have profiles on both MyPositiveSingles and other dating apps.
However, dating
is much easier on this positive singles dating site as we all have been through the same thing
and I
don’t need to worry about the conversation.

When I was diagnosed with genital herpes, I thought I would be single for the rest of my life. I
couldn’t eat and barely slept. What’s worse is that I was too ashamed to share it with anyone
but had to
swallow all the anger, confusion, and fear alone. Therapy was the only resort that I could get
some
support until I found MyPositiveSingles. This herpes dating site saves me from the abyss of
self-isolation, making me realize that I am not alone and getting herpes is not the end of my
love life.

In the face of STD stigma, rejection, and judgment, everything in my life used to be defined by
my
positive imperfection. But this positive singles app opens my heart again with the storytelling
from
other positive singles in the same situation. Their optimistic attitude and passion for life
remind me
that living with STI(s) is only a small part. Best of all, I met my wife on MyPositiveSingles
two years
ago when I commented on one of her blogs.

My HIV diagnosis can also have a positive impact, though it took me years to learn it. Dating
with HIV
allows me to see the right person who understands me and set boundaries to shut biased
people down.
From feeling unworthy to empowered, this shift can not do without the help of MyPositiveSingles
and my
affectionate boyfriend whom I found on that HIV dating site.
