Dating Sites for People With Herpes Are On the Rise
(PRWEB) July 13, 2014 -- Back in 2001, Positive Singles emerged as a game changer in the STD dating industry. This online platform made it possible for people from across the globe to find friendship or a companion. Herpes, being the most common of all STDs in the United States of America, required an exclusive dating platform. This eventually led to the birth of a host of dating sites for people with herpes.
Today, there are hundreds of herpes dating websites. However, only a few of them have been providing impeccable services and catering to the discrete requirements of its member base. Statistics reveal that over 700 million people worldwide have herpes. Like any other sexually transmitted disease, herpes too is looked at with disgust. Instead of extending support towards people with Herpes, the society is more antipathetic.
This has made people look for platforms or websites where they can find someone who could understand them and accept them the way they are instead of judging them or their past. Clinical psychologist Cidney Williams says, “A lot of my clients use general dating websites to find their ideal life partner. However, it becomes very tough for them to reveal that they have herpes. If they tell it right away, the person isn't going to continue interacting.”
Cidney has a contradictory theory to this too. She said, “What if someone lets the relationship prosper and wait to tell the person about herpes? Wouldn’t that he betraying his trust?” This is, in fact very true. Confessing about herpes is probably the most difficult part of dating. There are more and more websites committed to helping people with herpes find a prospective partner.
The major reason behind the exorbitant number of websites can owed to the fact that one – quarter of the female adults in the United States are infected with the herpes simplex virus. Therefore, there is a huge demand of a herpes dating website, so that people don’t have to face rejection.
On the contrary, a few experts from the industry feel that Herpes dating websites have a negative impact too as people are restricted to date people with herpes alone. This narrows down the dating options to those who are infected. Cidney says, “These people shouldn’t be treated like the ones in Leprosy colonies. They are like you and I. They need support and love from us.”
All in all, Herpes dating websites have managed to be a blessing for those looking for a herpes partner. They boast of all the elementary features required to kick – start a long term relationship.
