PositiveSingles Advancement

PositiveSingles.com adds new feature: "Ask STD counselor", adds more support to its members than other dating services. Toronto, Ontario (January 25, 2008)

Finding your match when you have an STD can be easier than you think. 

Thousands of people get STDs and don't realize it.  Having an STD could lead to confusion, resentment, anger, and isolating yourself.  One may ask themselves many questions...

Starting from January 15, 2008 members at PositiveSingles.com can ask an STD counselor questions as well as continuing to enjoy updated information about all STDs, various STD forums, uploading pictures, sending e-mails or winks to other members and you can have a limited free membership.  

According to the CDC, there are over 65 million Americans currently living with an STD, 19 million new STD infections each year, one in three sexually active men and women living with Herpes, and about 50% of all sexually active Americans affected by HPV.

With STDs, many people are afraid to reach out to the people whom they are closest to. The stigma attached to people with infectious diseases suddenly becomes personal. They are afraid of losing friendships and family altogether. This fear can quickly become a reality due to a lack of education.

PositiveSingles recently added an STD counselor to the site

The information that the STD counselor provides covers the most recent information about STDs.

The STD counselor can answer such questions as: where to get the HPV shots, support group listings, counseling services, relationship questions or any other questions one may have. Information regarding STD testing can also be provided.

The members get quality information in addition to the dating services. Thousands of people on PositiveSingles meet, date and get married. Before the members meet they can talk to someone who is facing the same issues they are and someone who shares the same concerns. By talking about these issues the members could learn new ways to approach a person and stay emotionally stable.

Some of the members of PositiveSingles are learning how to deal with an STD that changed their lives. Some people are looking for a local relationship or partner that lives nearby. The sharing and support of a problem creates a healthy and educational atmosphere.
