There has been a part of your profile where you can disclose your HIV status on Grindr for a while now. Why isn’t there a similar status box for HPV and HSV1-2 (herpes). The online community of Grindr has always been divided between people that are “clean” and those that are “poz” but the thing is no one really ever talks about the other STD’s that aren’t curable on here. they see negative HIV and think they’re good to go. Most people that have HPV or HSV don’t even know they have it. Grindr should be more inclusive to everyone being able use their app without having to constantly disclose status to everyone in a direct message because the app isn’t designed with other STD’s in mind There should also be a box for other STD’s as a possible check mark for someones profile and encouragement through advertising to not treat the poz as second to first in the queer community.
