Are there any credible and safe dating sites or apps or any ways to meet other undetectables? I am female 42 in Florida. Thanks.

You can try PositiveSingles or POZ. That's what I'm on. It's ok, just like any other dating app except with STDs.. Lol
Not really funny but just crazy saying that. But we all deserve love.

Marina, I went on POZ dating site in 2000. I met a lot of friends on that site and social groups where we would get together once a month, rent out a beach house or a bar. Sadly, I've lost my friends I met there from one thing or another, car accident or heart attack. When I met my husband in 2004 we got married six months later. Sadly, he was very stubborn and after four years decided he did not want to take his hiv meds, that the side effects were intolerable. We would argue about it. I am very educated about everything hiv so not taking your meds to me is unfathomable. I can't tell you how many friends I've lost to non- compliancy.
As a heterosexual woman I find the hiv dating sites to be dominated by gay men and men looking for sex only but put up your profile on a few hiv dating sites and see what becomes of it. I even made a great female friend on there. We would get together a lot, go to the beach etc. Just be careful and don't give out your personal information. At first I was so leary when my then future husband wanted to send me flowers every week that I gave him my parents address, they lived 5 miles away at the time. You never know unless you try. Sadly, I lost my husband in 2014, an avoidable death. If only he took his meds. Back in earlier days the meds were not as good as they are today. I remember taking a handful of nasty pills with bad side effects. Today is a whole other story. I'm on one pill a day zero side effects now.
So, yes, it is possible to meet your match on a dating site. I remember when my older brother heard that I met someone on a dating site he immediately signed up with Match.com , met a woman that he has been living with for 20 years now. Don't give up hope.
