The spokesperson for Meet Positives, Tommy Marks, talks about the challenge facing those who are living with an STD by saying, “Even though some kinds of STDs affect a large portion of the population, such as herpes, the stigma surrounding sexually transmitted diseases remains persistent. The biggest factor behind this is the perception that STDs are reserved for those who exhibit promiscuity and engage in otherwise immoral behavior. Without diving into the regressive attitudes with which a huge swath of society still views sex, it is still telling that judgmental people are not willing to give someone who is suffering from an STD the benefit of the doubt. Someone infected with a rare STD such as Gonorrhea, Syphilis, or Chlamydia, may have been completely faithful in their relationship but might have been infected due to their partner’s betrayal. Here at Meet Positives, we are trying to change the conversation surrounding STDs. We aim to give those who are quietly suffering, the warm embrace of the community that they need to heal – both physically and mentally. If you are looking for someone just like you who understands your predicament and accepts you into their heart without judgment, sign up for an account on Meet Positives today and you will be well on your journey towards finding your soul mate. Register today, it’s free to join and we have thousands of singles waiting for you to meet and connect with.”
