STIs in Australia — stigma vs reality

Common STIs affect large numbers of Australians — often silently, given testing gaps and mild symptoms. Official statistics undercount lived experience compared with how many people navigate herpes, HPV, HIV, and other conditions every day. You are far from alone.

Privacy & discretion

Dating alongside sensitive health context means discretion is foundational — not an afterthought. You stay in charge of what's visible on your profile, who can browse it, and how account activity appears on statements.
  • Profile visibility and photo privacy controls
  • No indexing of dating profiles in public search engines
  • Encrypted messaging and discreet billing

For full wording on retention, messaging, billing, and your rights — read our policy anytime.
