99.2% of its Members are Searching for Both a Relationship and Sex

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/29/2017 -- People are often curious, or even skeptical, of the motives and desires of those who use dating websites to meet new people, build relationships or even search for true love. This is no different for dating websites dedicated to helping people with sexually transmitted diseases (STD) meet other singles sharing the same conditions and looking to connect with others.

PostiviteSingles.com, the number one ranked online dating website for singles with herpes, HPV, HIV or any other STD, was highly interested in this same question of what people were looking for in a dating website. To discover this answer and more, the company recently conducted a survey of its one million plus registered members to better understand why they joined PositiveSingles.com and what they expected of the website and other people using the website.

To answer the question of what members were searching for, the industry leading dating website asked over 10,000 of its members to participate in a short online survey. The survey asked a variety of questions regarding what the members were most looking for in using the services of the website. With regard to their desired relationship, members were offered the following two choices, being allowed to select one of the two options or both options.

- Sex
- Relationship, Marriage, Dating

Of the respondents to the PositiveSingles.com survey, only 0.8% chose sex only as the main thing they were looking for in using the site. The remaining 99.2% selected Relationship, Marriage, Dating, or Relationship, Marriage, Dating and Sex.

"The result of our member survey is very revealing, but not surprising to us," responded Suny Smith, PositiveSingles.com spokesperson. "Most of our members tell us that they are searching for a relationship rather than just a hookup. But, since sex is always a part of any close and intimate relationship, the overwhelming majority of the members surveyed selected both sex and a relationship when responding to what they were most looking for at PositiveSingles.com. We are focused on people interested in dating and who have the goal of building serious relationships that can lead to true love and even marriage. We have over 60,000 dating success stories shared with us by our members and more than 2,000 members have shared their love stories publicly at the website to encourage and inspire others."

These results offer hope and encouragement for singles who have an STD and encounter difficulties and frustrations in having a positive dating and love life. The members at PosiviteSingles.com are clearly looking for long term relationships with compatible singles who share a common STD and are having success doing so.

STD Infected People Are Legally Required to Disclose Disease to Partners

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/15/2017 -- PositiveSingles.com - the No.1 STD dating website which has over 1.2 million members, has attained the services of an attorney to help their members stay informed about the legal consequences of not disclosing the status of their disease to their dating partners. Generally, the law requires that individuals with STDs are to disclose the status of their disease to their partners before having sexual intercourse with them. If they fail to disclose this information, they could be subjected to both civil and criminal legal consequences.

If someone has a less severe disease like herpes, it may only lead to a civil lawsuit and not necessarily a criminal charge. Most criminal prosecutions of STD non-disclosure involve cases where people are infected with either HIV or AIDs and do not tell their partners before having sex with them. It all depends on what the laws dictate in the state where the offense occurred. In some states, like California, it is a felony for a person to hide their HIV status from their partner or have unprotected sex with them. Offenders could face up to 8 years in prison. In Florida, however, the same offense would only be a misdemeanor and the offender would just face up to a year in jail.

New York state is the fourth state with the most STD members on PositiveSingles. To help its members avoiding these legal consequences, PositiveSingles has consulted with attorney Jon Michael Probstein to describe what could happen in certain situations if an STD member were to fail to disclose their disease status to their partner. Jon Michael Probstein is a New York attorney so his advice only applies to those living in New York state. But the same scenarios can still be researched for those living in other states.

As to the question of whether STD people have an obligation to inform their partners of their STD status, "STD people are obligated," Jon Michael Probstein said to PositiveSingles. "Under rulings in the area of personal injuries, such as negligence and intentional tort, courts have held that an affirmative legal duty to disclose exists in the relationship between parties where the defendant knew or should have known that he or she had a communicable disease." In New York, the offender will face a misdemeanor for failing to disclose their status before sexual intercourse.

The civil consequences of STD non-disclosure can be quite expensive for the offender too.

"On the civil side, some attorneys have stated they won or received settlements up to 7 million dollars or greater," Jon Michael Probstein said. This is in addition to the fees involved in the criminal offense, such as attorney costs, court fees, and fines. However, the risk of civil liability can even fall upon those who do disclose their disease. If their partner were to file a frivolous lawsuit, claiming they didn't know about the disease, the defendant would not be able to prove that they did disclose their STD status unless they have written the proof.

"Written partner notification documents signed and acknowledged before a notary may offer the best protection against frivolous litigation," Jon Michael Probstein. STD people need to be careful of maintaining long term relationships with partners who are infected themselves. If the relationship goes bad and the couple splits, then there is nothing stopping their partner from coming back and claiming that they gave them an STD. Unless the defendant can provide medical documentation which proves they do not have an STD, their partner can easily win a civil case against them in court. If the defendant can provide this medical proof, they will still have to pay substantial attorney fees and court fees. Either way, it can be costly for them.

Vaughan, ON -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/28/2017 -- When someone is first diagnosed with HIV, they typically stop dating because they are ashamed of their condition. People of certain age groups may be more likely to date again while those in other age groups are not. New information released by the popular STD dating website "PositiveSingles" shows that HIV-positive single adults between the ages of 33 and 47 are more likely to date again than any other age group.

This news is based on a survey that was conducted amongst 200,000 HIV-positive single adults of all age groups who are members of PositiveSingles. Out of these 200,000 members, 45.8% of them are between the ages of 33 and 47. Another 17.2% of them are between the ages of 18 and 32, and 29.7% of them are between the ages of 48 and 62. Then, there were 7.3% of the members who identified as being over 62.

"What these results reveal is that HIV-positive singles who are approaching middle age are more eager to find a partner before they get too old," Suny, the spokesperson of PositiveSingles said. "They are in the prime of their dating lives and they have so much to offer. Based on these results, it looks like they are finally realizing that."

For those HIV-positive singles who are between 18 and 32 years of age, they tend to feel very self-conscious about their condition and will typically shy away from dating altogether. They may even feel like dating websites are more suitable for older people who have established themselves in lives and careers. As for those between 48 and 62, they tend to dwell on their older age and their condition as being reasons for not dating. If only they knew how many people out there are in the same position they are in.

It also offers its members a variety of blogs and community forums where people with STDs can get assistance in finding their perfect partner, no matter what age range or disease they have.

To avoid casual hookups with the Spark feature, users’ basic information will be shown below the profile picture when users decide to like or dislike.

Vaughan, ON -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/25/2017 -- Tinder's "Swipe" feature is very popular among dating apps which allow users to like or dislike the profile according to the picture they browse. It is a quick and efficient matchmaking feature. PositiveSingles' "Spark" feature is similar to Tinder's "Swipe" feature which gives STD users the ability to browse the profile pictures of their potential matches and swipe left or right to like or not. To avoid the casual hookups with the "Spark" feature, the STD dating website PositiveSingles.com redesigned their Tinder-like feature "Spark" on its STD dating app. The newly designed "Spark" feature on its STD dating app lets users learn more by displaying their potential matches' basic information like age and the type of STDs below the pictures.

Although Tinder is more exclusive to matching people with those who have similar social interests, they are not so much an app for matching those with similar dating interests or situations. STD users on Tinder will find it difficult to locate other STD users in their area who are interested in dating. PositiveSingles has combined the best of both worlds by allowing their STD members to locate other STD members interested in dating and to be able to screen their information more easily and quickly. Users on the STD dating app can now quickly see basic details about their potential matches like age, the type of STD living with, and about me information. This will save users time from having to go to each individual profile page to find that member's basic information.

"The Spark feature is very helpful for our users to find their new match quickly," Suny, the spokesperson for PositiveSingles stated. "But we want to give more information to our members before they make the decision, it's more serious. Our user wants a serious relationship instead of a casual hookup," the Suny added.

PositiveSingles app is the largest dating and support app for people who are living with herpes, HPV, HIV and other STDs. PositiveSingles is constantly adding and improving new features on the dating app to help its members find other matches who want a long-term relationship. PositiveSingles' dating app is available for both iOS and Android smartphones on Apple Store and Google Play Store.

PositiveSingles is also a warm-hearted support community for STD singles to get help and counseling about dating from other members who were previously in the same situation they were in

Vaughan, ON -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/23/2017 -- The largest STD dating website, PositiveSingles.com, just announced that it is going to start rewarding its most cherished members with lifetime memberships to their services. These are proven members who have gone out of their way to help other STD single members through the various blogs and forums of the website. The moderators of these discussion platforms take note of which members have frequently responded and counseled other members that have had questions or concerns about STD singles dating.

"PS Blogs are a great way to get and give support," the PositiveSingles.com blog indicates. They are "a great way to tell people more about yourself, and a chance for you to get to know others also living with STDs." Members have the opportunity to help others by sharing their own real-life experiences of dealing with STDs and how they were able to transition into a dating lifestyle, despite living with their disease.

"PositiveSingles is not just an STD dating website," a PositiveSingles representative stated. "It is also a warm-hearted support community for STD singles to get help and counseling about dating from other members who were previously in the same situation they were in." A PositiveSingles membership entitles its members to unlimited access to all the main features of the website. These include the STD blog, STD forum, STD Question & Answer page, STD counseling, and the ability to search and communicate with other STD singles privately.

Members who are rewarded with a lifetime membership get chosen exclusively by top level administrators of PositiveSingles.com. On the top of the member's blog page, a blue button with the words "Get FREE lifetime membership!" will appear on the right side just above their blog address area. The member just has to click on this button and send their application, then their membership will become upgraded to a lifetime membership after PositiveSingles' approval. This means they'll never have to pay another monthly or annual charge for their premium membership ever again.
