Overview

HSV Singles has been called the most popular dating and support site for Singles with HSV, and it ranks up there as one of our top recommendations for herpes dating websites. HSV Singles has some great features to help you find someone of interest, and it is cost effective compared to some other herpes dating sites. The site even has a rare 1-year subscription plan, which is ideal for members who want to take their time getting to know other members without the hassle up continuously renewing a membership. And, because HSV Singles takes their member’s privacy so seriously, we can’t help but give them a great big thumbs up for their efforts at making their site one of the best. We think you will agree, so make sure you learn more about them in our review if you are at all interested.

Sign Up Process

Compared to some other dating websites, this signup process is quick. It only takes about a minute. You fill in your basic information, such as name, email address, birth date, password, and who you are looking for, and then you create a personal headline and about me section for your profile. Your description will be verified, so make sure you put in something good to describe you that is non-offensive and describes who you are and what you are looking for.

At the bottom of the sign-up form, you will see that there is also an option to sign up for HSVDating.net for free. Just tick the box if you want to do this, and if you don’t, then leave the box unchecked. Immediately, you be taken to a membership price page, but you do not need to sign up at this time to use HSV Singles. Just click on the logo in the top left of the screen, and you will be taken to the member’s area where you can enjoy your membership for free.

More personal information is not asked until you become a member. Once inside, you can update your profile by clicking on ‘Manage Profile’ in the top orange menu bar, and then choosing ‘edit profile’. You can add a photo and information about your relationship status, appearance, personality, views, taste, and what kind of person you are looking for.

Pricing

It is completely free to sign up and use the basic features. You don’t have to create a paying membership if you don’t want to; however, if you are serious about finding someone to date (and maybe even fall in love with), then you will want all the extra features to use to your advantage.

There are three different subscription prices. What is unique about HSV Singles is that there is no option for a 6-month subscription, like most dating sites; rather, you have a choice between 1 month, three months, or 1 year. All subscriptions are recurring, so when your subscription runs out, you will automatically be re-billed for the same subscription unless you cancel your subscription first. (You can cancel your subscription by click on the FAQ link and then clicking on the information link called ‘How do I cancel my paid membership?’)

• One month will cost $24.99
• Three months will cost $16.66 per month
• One year will cost $7.49 per month

It is important to note the savings per month by getting a 1-year membership. If you feel like you are ready to look for someone to date or build any relationship with, then a 1-year membership will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Please take note that all prices are is USD currency, so you will have to change the prices to your currency.

Furthermore, the full subscription fee will be charged when you sign up. For instance, a 3-month membership will initially cost $49.98, and a 1-year membership will initially cost $89.88, and both subscriptions will recur at the same price when the membership is up.

Features

The options to ‘send flirt’ under someone’s profile picture allows you to send someone a quick note that you are interested in with a selection of one-liners. It is just a quick way to say how you feel without trying to find the words.

Another feature of HSV Singles that can come in very useful is Rapid Match, which is a feature that allows you to tell them rapidly who you would like to meet by clicking on ‘yes’ or ‘no’ or ‘maybe’ under a member’s profile. Then, they will let you know if the feeling is reciprocated by doing the same thing to your picture. In the end, you will know quickly (and without having to reach out any further) if you have found a potential match. The feature helps you break the ice and feel more comfortable reaching out and talking to members that you know have some interest in you. And, if they are not interested in you, this feature helps you avoid the dreaded rejection. You can also click on any picture while you are inside of the Rapid Match feature and be taken directly to their profile to check them out further.

Another cool feature is the instant chat. It allows you to connect with other members who are willing to talk. If you would rather chat with a bunch of people, rather than one-on-one, you can chat in the chat room. It is an audio and video chat room, which means that you can get to know other members quickly in a friendly and fun environment.

Free members have the ability to:

• Search by age, location, and photo
• Send to 30 free flirts
• Receive IM’s from other members.

Paying members have the ability to:

• Check out member’s photos
• Send unlimited flirts and emails
• Hide their profile with stealth mode
• Access an additional 31 filters when doing search
• Access to chat room
• Instant message other members
• Read emails
• Access the forum

Safety and Privacy

The site’s privacy policy clearly states that your privacy is important to them. HSV Singles will never sell your information to any company or person. It is an important practice to have on any site, but especially in a site devoted to singles with HSV.

While HSV Singles does not screen their members, they do have a ton of safety tips for you to check out so that you can navigate the website and ensure your safety is always your priority. You can see their safety tips in the FAQ section. However, a few of the things they recommend is keeping your personal information private, moving cautiously, ensuring you see plenty of photos of a magnetic member to gain trust and talking to a member by phone before you decide to meet them. Please see the FAQ section for all of their safety advice while using the site and interacting with other members.

Which STD Singles Does HSV Singles Have?

As the name suggests, HSV Singles is catering to herpes Singles; however, like most STD dating sites, they do not discriminate against anyone, which means if you have an STD, you are more than welcome to sign up to the site. But, you should disclose what you have, so that other members do not just assume that you have HSV.

Room For Improvement

HSV Singles is a pretty good herpes dating website. However, there are always some things that could be improved. For instance, they could allow members a little more insight into what the membership features offer by giving us a little preview. It would be nice to test out the waters before we jump right in, and it might encourage many more members to sign up to HSV Singles.

The Search

The search is very user-friendly. You can search by new members, do a quick search on basic stats, do a premium search with over 31 extra filters (subscription members only), search by who is online, or just browse member’s profiles by picture.

When searching members, you have the ability to click on their profile. There, you can see their basic information, such as age, location, who they are seeking, and how far away they are from you. You can also see any photos they have posted, any extra information they have disclosed on their profile (regarding taste, personality, views, etc.), and you can see the last time they logged into HSV Singles. This last little bit of information is helpful in deciding who is an active member looking for someone and who has possibly checked out from the site due to finding a good match.

When you find someone you like in your searches, add them to your black book or favorites list, or you can send them a message or a flirt. Again, you need to have a paying membership to do that.

STD Support And News

HSV Singles is a dating site devoted to herpes, so all members will have sympathy for your situation and be a support system in themselves. However, in the left sidebar, on the bottom, you will see a box called Our Friends. Here you can find some links to different places that are related to herpes singles or STD support. Note that all of these links will take you to a different site, but it is a way to expand your social circle and get more support for your STD. There are also related links in the top gray menu bar that lead you to different sites that offer support or a similar atmosphere.

Design

HSV Singles is designed with users in mind. Everything is easy to find, laid out in an organized way, and you never have to search for anything. Even better? Every time you refresh your page, there is a new ‘what to do next’ suggestion underneath your photo. It helps you make the most of your time, and I found this feature quite useful in creating a full and attractive profile for other members to check out.

Customer Service

HSV Singles has an extensive FAQ section to answer most questions that you could have, their contact us link is clear and visible in the footer menu. And, if you prefer to chat, they have that as well. All you have to do is go to the contact us page and ensure that their live chat is online. Then just click on ‘start chat’ and begin your conversation with their staff.

Verdict

This HSV Singles review should leave you interested in the site. HSV Singles offers some great features to help you get to know other herpes singles, and it is very affordable to do so. While we realize that this site may not have the amount of members that some other herpes dating sites have, there is still a good chance that you can find some matches close to you.
