Editor's Verdict:

Positive Singles is a fantastic site for single people who suffer from Herpes, HPV, HIV or AIDS and are looking for love, friendship or companionship. This site advertises itself as the 'best, largest and completely anonymous, most trusted' STD dating site on the Internet today, and we're sure that it really stands up to its claims. Positive Singles provides all users with the best chance to meet up with other individuals who suffer from similar problems in a non-judgmental, non-discriminatory environment where everyone involved can be comfortable to be themselves. We were extremely impressed by the way in which this site manages to cultivate a real community of online STD daters, allowing all users to feel completely at home with the process of dating online.

Joining Positive Singles is extremely simple, with users only having to fill out a quick form in order to get started with the site's free membership option. Of course, as you would expect from our highest rated site in this category, there are no unpleasant probing questions about your state of health when you first join the site. You can, if you wish, provide information about your illness and the way you manage it, later in the registration process - though there is no obligation to do so. We thought this is the best way, on a site like this, to approach the difficult topic of providing information about a user's sexual health - allowing guests to feel comfortable about joining without any unpleasant probing. Free users can check out other users profiles, keep a profile of their own (complete with photographs) and use some of the site's more basic features. In order to get complete access to all of the site's features, users do need to upgrade to gold membership. At almost $100 for 6 months membership, some users may find the site a little expensive, but we do think that for such a specialist site, with a wide range of features, the price is wholly justified.

In terms of features, Positive Singles does have a lot to offer its users. At its most basic, users can create a profile of their own and add pictures to 'sell' themselves to other users. Users can take advantage of a fantastic intuitive search function to search through the many profiles that are hosted on Positive Singles. In order to get in contact with other users, Positive Singles users can send winks and flirts to other users to let them know that you are interested in them. Users also get access to an internal email service, which is of incredibly high quality, and can also take advantage of the popular user forums. These forums are extremely well used, with users discussing a range of different topics, including dating, sexual health, tips and advice on managing sexually transmitted illnesses and their symptoms, and more general topics, such as news and sport. We were particularly impressed by the way that these forums meld users together to really create a community feel.

Positive Singles also have access to a fantastic online live chat function which really adds a lot to the site. Live Chat is a function that sets this site above all others in this category and we were extremely impressed by its inclusion here. Users can also create a 'friends circle' of your favorite users on Positive Singles in order to check out what they are up to and get in contact with them easier. Users can also send 'Greetings Cards' to their acquaintances online, to let them know that they're thinking about them - sending a variety of sentiments; from Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas, to Get Well and Sympathy. We really liked the way that this carries through the community feel of the site into the wider relations between members. Users of Positive Singles can also use the astrology function, which allows users to check out what their horoscopes are saying on a daily basis and see which users of Positive Singles are the most appropriate match to your astrological profile. There's also the relationship calculator which allows users to check out which users are most suited to them, on the basis of relationship questions that you can answer in the form of an online questionnaire.

There is a mark of real quality about the features that are provided on Positive Singles. The internal email feature comes complete with anti-spam and filtering features, something that is rare to find on online dating sites. Users can also view member videos and take part in individual user blogs that allow you to really get to know other users. An ID Checker is also included on the site to make sure that you know that those you choose to talk to are who they say they are. The featured member function allows all gold members to 'get featured' on the homepage, and improve their chances of getting a date. There are also a number of features that make this site specifically suited to the STD dating market. There is a directory of STD treatment locations in the US which can be really helpful for users of this particular dating organization. A wide range of specialist articles, help sheets and STD news allow users to get information about how best to manage their illness. The 'Ask an STD counselor' feature particularly impressed us too, as it allows users to get in touch with a specialist for a live chat. We thought this really was a fantastic addition, and something that we think could really improve the lives of the members of Positive Singles.

All in all, we're sure that this is the best online STD dating site that anyone could hope to find on the Internet. It's not necessarily the cheapest site, but it really does provide a range of useful and exciting features (many of which are specifically tailored to this particular dating market) that we're sure will appeal to daters all over the Internet. If you're interested in dating online using STD dating sites, your chances of getting a date are highest with Positive Singles.
