I would love to have an option to disclose being position for HSV 1 without typing it out in my profile.

That sort of disclosure being “Grindr-sanctioned” would take a huge weight off the shoulders of so many who suffer from the shame and stigma of this virus, even though nearly half of Americans have HSV 1 and one in five have HSV 2.

Grindr has led the way in normalizing disclosure of HIV status and reduced so much of the stigma and shame associated with that virus. Can it please do the same for HSV (Herpes)?

I can see this working for other viruses that people worry about too, like HPV (many folks in their 30’s and 40’s+ were not vaccinated for it), and honestly, who knows what else will come along in the future?

Help us normalize disclosure on profiles by adding a profile field for this, please.
