Privacy: Good
POZ Personals’ user privacy protection is not good enough like PositiveSingles. That does not mean POZ Personals is not safe. In fact, almost all of HIV dating websites are very careful about users’ privacy. Compared to PositiveSingles, POZ Personals do not have many privacy setting options for its user to choose. Since this website contains gay, lesbian and bisexual members, it’s hard for straight members to avoid annoyance from gay or bisexual members with the only option “hide my profile from others”.
VERDICT
POZ Personals is a great dating site for singles who are living with HIV. However, POZ Personals do not review and check their members’ profiles. So you need to use your own judgment, just like on any other dating site or social networking site.
If you do not mind their privacy policy and want to expand the chances of finding a match, POZ Personals is worth checking out.
