Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium/superbug called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is spread during sexual intercourse- vaginal, oral, and anal.

But another special menu also allows the user to specify if they are suffering from some of the most common sexually transmitted diseases such as herpes, HIV, HPV, hepatitis B, HIV, AIDS, syphilis and even thrush.

Says Steve Kasper, a consultant for the dating website Positive Singles, “It provides a particular service to people who otherwise assume their dating life is over. You’re surrounded by people who understand you, who have been through what you’re going through. It’s not just about dating, it’s a support group.”
