More than a diagnosis. Always a person.

Positive-singles.co.uk is an information website for a UK audience. You can read about the PositiveSingles dating community, explore guidance and follow relevant links when they are available. You do not create a member profile or exchange private messages here.

PositiveSingles operates the account and member services referred to on these pages. Its current membership options, app features, support processes and policies should be checked directly with that service.

A community centred on STIs can remove the need to explain why a diagnosis affects how you approach dating. It can be useful if you want to discuss herpes, HPV or HIV without making that the only thing another person knows about you. It still takes an individual conversation to understand someone’s health, intentions and boundaries.

Before joining, consider what would make the experience worthwhile: a relationship within a manageable journey, friendship with someone who understands, or simply a place to begin talking again. A shared diagnosis will not resolve differences in location, lifestyle or expectations. If you want clinical reassurance first, start with a local sexual health service.

Local information needs to do more than name a city. Our safety guide distinguishes clinic access across the four UK nations and explains the different fraud-reporting route in Scotland. Our first-meeting guidance asks about return transport, public venues and how to keep a health conversation private.

For health questions we link to NHS guidance; for fraud and threats we use police and specialist support sources. Service features are checked against the provider’s information. Source dates show when checks were made, not that a clinician has reviewed an article. Photographs are illustrative and do not identify members or imply a diagnosis.
