Mountain View, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/08/2016 --For singles who have a sexually transmitted disease (STD), meeting new people and dating can be an intimidating challenge. Not only can it be difficult to meet interesting and exciting people, but some prospective partners may not be accepting of a partner with herpes or another STD. Dating websites and applications dedicated to people with STDs offer a convenient and safe alternative for STD-positive singles to meet others and search for love.

Recent statistics from the world's largest and most popular STD dating website, PositiveSingles.com, shows that the number of active users from around the world using its site increased dramatically from 2015 to 2016, rising 78.5%. With 52.4% of its users using iPhones and 47.6% using Android devices, PostiveSingles.com members are highly active online and constantly connected.

A spokesperson for PositiveSingles.com cites one of the main contributors to the rapid rise in users at its site to the worldwide rollout and availability of its new mobile STD dating app earlier in 2016. With the addition of its new mobile app, members were given the convenience of using their phone to meet new people and find love anywhere on the go. Two key features of the app have been especially important and successful with the company's membership.

1. Pattern Lock, a privacy feature of the new dating app, allows users to specify what information to protect

2. The app's Spark feature provides a way to indicate an immediate interest in another member's profile. If the interest is shared between two members, the app immediately matches them

With over 1,150,000 registered members from around the globe, and more than 550,000 members with the herpes virus, the website boasts thousands of successful matches. PositiveSingles.com new app makes the process faster, more enjoyable, more convenient and safer.
