The so-called "2 318 900+ members registered on the site" isn't exactly truthful -- it's outright misleading.

The majority of the members are either inactive and/or fake users without a profile picture. Most people discover earlier on how poor the Positive Singles experience is & then leave to never return. If PS was fair, they'd boot people off of the site after having been inactive for more than six months. But that would interfere with their ability to market the site and bolster their user count.

In your first two to three pages of search results you'll find people who were recently active to last logged in more than a week ago. You'll have one to two pages of people who were last logged in two weeks to more than a month ago. And then you'll have over ten+ pages of users who don't have a picture assigned to their profiles (and usually last logged in more than a month ago). These profiles supply the bulk of the over 2 million+ users PS likes to brag about having on their site.

If you absolutely HAVE to buy a membership, please just purchase one month, you'll regret purchasing a larger membership. A one month will allow you to message every local you're interested in at least two to three times before it expires (good luck getting a reply back from someone who hasn't logged on in over a month).

Positive Singles is literally a derelict ghost town of abandoned profiles. User retention doesn't seem to be one of their strong suits. I wouldn't recommend using this site, but I would strongly advise against paying these parasites anything. They profit off of exploiting people suffering from a horrible, stigmatizing condition. Pay, and use at your own discretion.

Good experience!
September 28, 2019

I have a good experience on PositiveSingles, and I meet some friends who are living with herpes. The best online STD community in the world.

The free website does not allow you doing anything. Besides, I am really impressed about the bad reputation and more impressed that I agree...

Good mobile version
August 20, 2020

The mobile version of the positivesingles website has a very good experience, mainly because it is more convenient to browse on a mobile phone.

About a month ago I decided to take a break from Positive Singles. When I came back, made a new profile and attempted to pay the membership my payment wasn't accepted which led to me trying to contact the people that run this site. They never answered my inquiry but my profile was promptly suspended. When I asked them why my page was suspended I was told their system has detected unusual activity on my account (which is nonsense because I'd barely been back a half a day) and that I needed to "verify" which involved me sending them a picture of my ID. Against my better judgment, I did. This happened Dec 6. I have yet to hear from them. I have had issues with this site and it's parent company, successful match, many times in the past but have always let it go due to the nature and slight necessity of the site. But this behavior, during a pandemic when human connection on a emotional level is saving lives, is unacceptable and only shows the character or lack thereof of the people behind this site. A part of me believes discrimination is involved considering the way they handle or promote profiles belonging to white people is much better than how they treat the profiles of people of color. (Way better). Needless to say, I'm highly pissed and disappointed in them. Save your time, effort and money and give Positive Singles and MPWH a wide berth which is what I'll be telling to everyone I know that would have a need of such a site.

Update: Recently learned from an aquaintance that used the site that her pictures were stolen by the site and used for a fake profile. I wasn't surprised when she told me this considering there are plenty of people on the site that include a warning and threat of legal action on their page towards PS but it's still all very disturbing. Person shouldn't have to deal with such things when trying to establish a genuine human connection.
