How Do You Tell About Status In Dating App?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Ottawa, ON

I am trying to meet people in my area through dating apps but most of time I try to tell about my status to avoid any awkward moments later. Mostly guys are not comfortable or blocked when I share my status. Even I tried to keep it till we meet, the last guy I told him person, ghosted me afterwards. What is the best way to talk about and share my status, less rejection and maybe get a date!

I just select positive undetectable. That way it’s out there so if someone hits me up, they already know.

Location shouldn't be an issue. I am now considering long distance relationship. Some people that live in other states are only 5 hours away from me. One thing I noticed was other people's profiles. Let people know about you. I try to fill out as much as I can. Have you gotten any responses from any of the sites?

I've been on Hivnet, haven't heard of passions. Now that you mention Zoosk, I have heard of it. I've on poz.com and also positivesingles. I'm sure alot of my not getting any responses is because of my location.

Hivnet.com and passions.
Zoosk is a regular dating site
I heard about other sites but have not had a chance to look. What apps are you using?

For myself, i just post it in my profile that I'm undetectable HIV+. I mention it a couple of times. Then if we do meet, i again tell them just to cover myself. If we message back and forth on the app, i again ask them if they read my profile and if they are ok with it.
