Our professional editors joined more than 5 most popular herpes dating sites/apps. They picked PositiveSingles.com as the best choice from the best.

They have tested all the features (including guest features and paid features) and made the final choice.

Since we received many emails about how to have a full use of herpes sites, we will take PS (PositiveSingles.com in short) as an example and make a series of guides about how to use them safely and fully.

PositiveSingles, built in 2001, is a popular herpes dating site which brings people with herpes together for support, date, and love.

You can easily set up a PositiveSingles account and start using it in a few minutes. Let’s begin.

Part 1: Creating an account

You can create a profile from the PS homepage or from the PS app. You can install the app for free from your devices’ app store.

The PS profile is available on all the platform. And the profile creation process is similar for both the website and app.

Please note that you can also visit PS website via mobile device. It’s mobile-friendly.

4. Upload a photo

ps-uploading-photo As we tested, PS allows the user to register without a photo. What’s more, members can upload an anonymous photo (No sex, porn or other low-quality photos).

We guess that it’s a way to protect users’ privacy. So you decide to upload it or not.

Furthermore, if you don’t want your photo visible to all the PS members, you can upload photos to the private album. Then you can decide who can view them. We must say that private album is one of our favorite features.

Then upload a photo or skip the process to the next step.

5. Filling out “About You” and “About Your Match”

Profile headline (10 characters minimum). Write anything you like. A little advice: be positive and real. profile headline
About me (50 characters minimum). Anything you want to share with the potential partner. About-me
About my match/friends (50 characters minimum). Describe your potential partner in details in this section. About-my-match
If you don’t know what to write or how to write, it will be ok as well. Just type something anonymously. Then improve it later.

Part 2 Verification

1. Email Verification

In order to receive PS notifications and messages, you’ll need to confirm your email address. You will receive an email after you clicked “verify email” button. Click the “Verify email address” button in the email message or copy&paste the link into your browser to confirm your email address.

It’s also a security method to protect your profile.

If you can’t find the email, check your spam folder.

2. Photo Verification

If you didn’t upload any photo, then no need to read this step.

If you have uploaded your personal photo to the public album, you can verify the photo. Then visitors can know that you are real and serious. Two methods to verify the photo:

Upload a readable copy of your clear ID (Driver’s License, State ID card, Military ID or Passport, NO PERSONAL PHOTOS, NO EXPIRED ID). Do not black out any information except identification numbers on the ID card. positivesingles-photo-verification1
Send PS support email a photo of yourself holding a sign with Positive Singles, your username and the date on it . positivesingles-photo-verification

We suggest you using the second one if you are unsure of the security.
