"I wasted so much of my time using the more popular dating sites and navigating my way around like I was on a minefield. No matter how open-minded people claim to be, once I admit I have herpes, they ghost me. It's not just annoying. It's discouraging and has always made me feel isolated. I thank the heavens I found this site because I finally have somewhere I belong. For the first time in a while, I've gone on meaningful dates with people who know the whole truth about me because they're the same." - Male Technician (31)

The Positive Singles app
★★★★★ 4.0/5
- Can have a password lock to protect users' privacy
- Most of the desktop features are in tact, except for the forums and health resources
- Available for free
- For iOS and Android users
- Easy to use
Although the app is not quite popular on both Android and iOS stores, the reviews are glimmering. Design-wise, the app stays loyal to the theme set by the website. The functions are simple and easy to navigate. Positive Singles also added a feature that allows you to choose a more discreet app icon; that way, it's less recognizable if ever someone happens to see or use your smartphone.
The more vital features are still in the app, optimized for a mobile experience. However, if you want to look up health resources, talk with a live counselor, or find STD-care locations, you're gonna have to go to the website.
Our field test
★★★★★ 4.5/5
Design & usability
The website is organised, aesthetically pleasing, and user-friendly. Most of the functions are immediately available on your homepage so you can easily find anything. The blogs and forums can be intimidating at first, but within minutes of familiarizing yourself, you can quickly navigate your way around. One issue we have is that the site text could be too small for desktop users.
Special features
Check out Positive Single's special features here:
Finding people 1
Let's meetFree
In Let's meet, you are shown people's profiles and you can swipe left or right on them. Swiping left means you don't like them while swiping right means you do. If you and a user like each other, it's a mutual match. This functions as a sort of game because after you've swiped through 8 profiles, you will see the phrase "You have finished one round." You can then either view who you've matched with or continue playing Let's meet. This game has unlimited rounds.
Messaging and contact 1
Video CallFree
In 2020, Positive Singles launched a video-call feature for its iOS users who have a premium membership. The reason behind this new feature is to provide solace for couples who have been unable to meet physically due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Community and events 1
First date ideasFree
A "first date idea" field is available in your profile to be filled out to let users gain insight into your personality. Basically, you would just state what your ideal or unique first date would be. PositiveSingles provides a page, which looks similar to the forum page, where everybody's dating idea is compiled. You can browse through these ideas, find one that you like, click on that user, and maybe initiate a conversation. It's a good way of facilitating contact based on personality rather than physical appearance.
Other extras 1
Resource to Recommend Sexual Health ClinicsFree
The site has released a new resource center where singles can find clinic recommendation for a variety of sexual health issues.

Gives the option of dating people with similar condition(s).
Positive Singles uploads fake profiles to entice customers onto their website. Subscription fees are very high. Once you've paid your subscription and can see who's viewed your profile, the number of views reduces greatly (fake profile views when not subscribed to encourage you to pay for a subscription).
