STDs in Canada — the numbers behind the stigma

Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) reports show climbing chlamydia and gonorrhoea diagnoses; tens of thousands live with HIV while treatment outcomes improve; herpes and HPV affect far larger groups than headline figures suggest due to asymptomatic carriage and uneven testing. MeetPositives exists between stigma and that reality.

Privacy & discretion for Canadian members

  • Profile visibility controls — decide who sees your information
  • Private photo albums
  • No search engine indexing of your dating profile
  • Encrypted messaging and discreet billing

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