Editor's Verdict:

Our fourth STD dating site is run by the immensely popular market leader in this sector, Positive Singles, our No. 1 ranked site. STD Match is perfect for users with any kind of STD, though is particularly noted for its support for those who suffer from HSV, HPV, HIV, Hep B/C, Chlamydia, Thrush and Syphilis. STD Match, and its parent site Positive Singles.com, are two of the most popular STD dating sites on the market today. STDMatch.net was recently featured on CNN.com, and received significant praise for the level of support shown to its users. Not only do users of STD Match get access to a great dating site, it's also a great tool for learning about your illness and meeting others who suffer from it. It's simple to tell that this wider approach was intended when STD Match was designed, because its collection of features are specifically intended to provide a comfortable and informative environment in order to return to the dating scene.

It's extremely quick and easy to get started with STD Match, simply fill out a quick registration form and you can get going instantly. User profiles with STD Match are vast, allowing users to submit an unlimited amount of photographs to accompany their vital statistics. STD Match users have access to a wide range of technical and functional features, including a great internal email service and (one of our favorites) a live instant messenger service. We are always impressed with the inclusion of a live-chat feature, because we think it opens up communication for members of the site in a way that stunted email conversation just doesn't. The excellent privacy settings featured on STD Match were also a massive bonus, as they allowed users to tailor their privacy settings to an individual level, allowing them to control exactly who sees what. Privacy is important on all dating sites, but we definitely feel that on STD dating sites, privacy takes on a whole new importance - and this is definitely appreciated by STD Match.

STD Match, like Positive Singles, has a number of innovative features that make amazing additions to those provided by more run of the mill dating sites. 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. 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. These are just a few examples of how far STDMatch.net goes to ensure that its users have access to the finest features available on STD dating sites.

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. That said, this site is, in the most part, a copy of Positive Singles, and many users may prefer to simply join Positive Singles (as the price is exactly the same) instead of having to sign in through another route.
