What every review answers

Six questions that matter after the marketing page

Who is the audience?

A herpes-only service and a wider STI community can feel different even when their basic tools look similar.

What can you test first?

We separate profile creation and browsing from paid messaging, filters and visibility controls.

What privacy choices exist?

We identify publicly described controls and explain what you should verify inside the current product.

What is uncertain?

Local activity, profile quality and individual outcomes cannot be established from a public member total.

Who may prefer it?

Each review connects platform differences to a practical preference rather than assuming one answer fits everyone.

How is the order decided?

Every platform is assessed against the same published criteria, including audience, access, privacy information, usability and limitations.
