New Update Means Meet Positives Reaches Spanish Speaking Market

Well known specialist online dating site MeetPositives.com is pleased to announce that they are now available to the Spanish-speaking community. People from all over the world have always been welcome to join the site, which is intended for people who are positive for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) - but now the information and the service is available in Spanish.

The end goal of the site is to offer a safe and encouraging place for those who are positive to learn from one another and if possible, meet someone who they can enjoy having a healthy relationship while living with an STD. People from all over the world have always been able to join the site, but now they can do so after reading the site entirely in Spanish if that is the language that they are most comfortable with. “Being positive for an STD is disconcerting enough,” said Mona H., a member of the site. “I appreciate the new Spanish translation being available as it makes me more comfortable.”

“It is not always easy to meet herpes singles,” Mona continued. “And I was always dreading having to explain my condition and never knowing if the other person was positive too or whether they’d run away from me when they found out that I am herpes positive. Now I do not have to worry about any of that, and we can focus mainly on a potential relationship, not on having to explain the STD that I carry.”

It is all too common for those who are diagnosed with an STD to feel as though they will never have a serious relationship again – but that does not have to be the case. People from all over the world, from all walks of life have found themselves in a situation where they are STD positive. MeetPositives.com exists to help them find and get to know people who fit their criteria and with whom they would never need to have “The Talk” about STDs.

Since its debut in 2014, MeetPositives.com has had the dual aims of offering a safe place for singles who were positive to learn more about their condition in the company’s discussion forums and also to help them to potentially meet someone with whom they could enjoy a permanent relationship.

The CEO of the site, Jack Lombardi, said that in particular they found that people who have herpes worry intensely that they will never find someone that they can date, but that this is a baseless fear. “We found that one of the most translated pages on the site was the English language version of ‘dating with herpes,’ he said. “If they start on the website at https://meetpositives.com/sp/herpes-dating/ they will be able to access information not only about their condition but also information and pathways to meet others who are in the same situation. And now the information – and those potential connections with others - is available in Spanish.”

When the site was being created, the company reached out to many people who have an STD in order to learn from their experiences. They did the same with Spanish speaking users, and MeetPositives.com found that simply plugging English language content into a free translator did not yield clear, accurate information for the Spanish speakers.

Mona H. said “When I was new to being positive and worrying that I’d spend the rest of my life alone, it was not helpful to have to not only try to understand information the site was putting out there but also to struggle with some of the “lost in translation” language issues. Now that the site is in Spanish, obviously, it is much simpler for me to immediately grasp what they are writing about. There are also many more people who speak Spanish on the site – which also is a comforting thing for me, as Spanish is my mother tongue,” she added.
