PositiveFriends.com - Network for the STD Positive

STDs arent something youd discuss with your pals over a beer and pizza or over Cosmopolitans and tapas for that matter. Its a dark little secret you sometimes may forget about, but its something youre stuck with, most of them at least. Despair no more, STD carriers, theres now a social network, one with positive, caring vibes, especially for you. Its fittingly called PositiveFriends.com, and its got all the support you could imagine. As with any other network, users get profiles (theres no shame here) in which they upload one of their assets, e.g. their smile or eyes, or their profile; editing tools allow members to blur, crop or shade their photos for anonymity. The site has friends and invites, you can accept or decline at will, send messages, chat privately, and browse profiles. PositiveFriends.com has a whole repository of health facts, and STD FAQs. There are articles, glossaries, and help sections which are reviewed for accuracy on a monthly basis. For questions about your sex life or your relationship, you can give Dr. Rachel, the resident sex therapist a shout. Its free to join for everyone.

Positive Friends is a social support website for everyone who is affected by STDs.

With 1 in 3 Americans having a sexually transmitted disease, chances are you or someone you know is personally dealing with this. PositiveFriends.com is a community where you can openly discuss and share your personal situation.

Positive Friends was developed with this particular community in mind. We understand that not everyone feels comfortable talking about this topic. For that reason we have created a community where you can participate without giving up your anonymity.
Along with peer-to-peer support, we also have professional health experts on staff to answer all your STD and relationship questions.

See you there!

STDs always carry a blatant and rather unnecessary stigma. PositiveFriends.com seeks to do away with shame and embarrassment by giving STD positive people a caring, informative and warm environment to interact, share, and feel human. Its a great place to get to know other people in similar situations and to make new friends.

How secure is this site? Will STD positive people feel the site does enough to encompass their problems?
