Why HerpesDateNow exists
Dating with herpes can bring questions about confidence, privacy and what to say. HerpesDateNow brings those questions into the open with practical, respectful reading for adults living with HSV-1 or HSV-2. Our aim is to help you think through your next step without pressure.
A connected dating experience
HerpesDateNow brings practical herpes dating guidance together with a straightforward connection to PositiveSingles. Our shared focus on understanding and meaningful connection helps you move from exploring your options to taking a step that feels right for you.
Profiles, conversations and membership are available through PositiveSingles, while HerpesDateNow offers a welcoming place to begin and useful guidance along the way. Your membership experience follows PositiveSingles’ own terms and privacy choices.
Clear expectations
There is no claim that people shown in our photographs are members or have any particular health status. Photography illustrates everyday connection. We do not publish invented testimonials, membership totals or promises about dating outcomes.
How we approach our guides
Our guides focus on decisions people make while dating: writing an introduction, setting a boundary and arranging a first meeting. They offer examples rather than instructions that everyone must follow. Health questions belong with a qualified healthcare professional.
