About this site

What we publish

Practical guidance on disclosure, transmission risk, and dating with HSV, plus honest comparisons of the platforms people use to meet each other. Every statistic is attributed to a named source, whether CDC surveillance data or peer-reviewed research in journals like the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA. Where the evidence is thin or contested, the page says so rather than rounding to a confident number.

What we are not

Not a clinic, and not a substitute for one. Nobody here can diagnose you, prescribe for you, or tell you what your own test results mean. Suppressive therapy, testing decisions, and anything about your specific body belong to a conversation with a clinician who can examine you. The medical disclaimer spells this out in full.

Who runs it, and how it makes money

This site is run by an employee of SuccessfulMatch.com, Inc., the company that owns PositiveSingles and MPWH. When a page links to PositiveSingles and you go on to subscribe, the site earns an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. Both facts are stated beside every PositiveSingles link on this site and in the footer. We publish them because a reader deciding whether to pay for a dating subscription should know that the people recommending it work for the company that sells it.

It also shapes what we refuse to do. Reviews name what each platform does badly, including the ones that pay, because a review that only praises is worthless to you and, over time, worthless to us. We do not rank by commission rate, we do not invent testimonials, and we do not publish user stories that did not happen. If a platform is the wrong fit for your situation, the page says that.

Corrections

If something here is factually wrong, a number, a citation, a claim about a platform's pricing or policy, it gets fixed and the page's checked date changes. Accuracy in this subject matters more than looking consistent.
