SPFPP Episode 157: The Number 1 Dating Site for People with HSV

Written By Courtney Brame

Do dating sites exclusively designed for people living with herpes do more harm than good? Do they do anything at all? Honestly, it's a matter of perception. How we use the resources we have access to determine their value in this case, not the other way around.

The sites that don't encourage forthcoming about STI status don't overtly perpetuate stigma like their counterparts, but they stigmatize. It is a universal fact that people link up through these dating apps and they engage in sex, but where are tools and resources to help facilitate safer sex conversations?

These are things that warrant ongoing discussion, but after a poll, Instagram actually came up a lot in terms of being the number 1 dating site for people with HSV, which I go deeper into explaining how we can make ANY space we occupy the number 1 dating site PERIOD.
