A clear direction

About Herpes Dating Compass

We publish independent comparisons and practical dating guidance for adults living with HSV. The goal is a more informed decision, not pressure to register.

What we do

Herpes Dating Compass explains how niche dating platforms differ in audience, privacy topics, free access, mobile use and possible premium limits. We also publish dating articles about disclosure, profiles, safety and meeting people.

We are a publisher, not a dating service. We do not create member accounts, host profiles, process subscription payments, verify users or manage messages. When a reader follows an external platform link, the third party becomes responsible for that account relationship.

Our editorial position

PositiveSingles ranks first for broad overall fit. MPWH ranks second as a focused herpes-only alternative. The order follows our published methodology and the practical needs each platform may serve.

A ranking is not a promise. Location, relationship goals, budget and personal comfort can make another platform a better individual choice.

How the site is funded

We may earn a commission from registrations made through marked platform links. The relationship is disclosed clearly because readers deserve to know when money may be involved. Platforms do not receive editorial approval rights.

Health information

We use recognized public-health sources for general facts and direct readers to qualified clinicians for personal questions. The site does not diagnose, treat or calculate individual transmission risk.
