A dating app for people living with HIV or herpes — where you don't have to start with the disclosure conversation.
Everyone here already shares that context. No disclosure anxiety, no clinical framing — just people getting to know each other.
Sign upHow it works
Create a private profile
Your profile, photos, and status are visible only to other members — never public.
Receive daily candidates
A small, considered set of matches each day — not an endless swipe stack.
Match and message
When interest is mutual, the conversation opens up. No pressure before that.
Curated, not endless
A small, considered set of daily matches — not an infinite swipe stack.
Shared upfront, within the community
It's a normal profile fact, visible from the start — never gated, never a surprise.
Real conversations
Built for people finding a real connection and leaving — not maximizing screen time.
Why this exists
The hardest part of dating with HIV or herpes usually isn't finding someone compatible — it's the disclosure conversation itself, and the fear that comes with it. Every member here already shares that context, so that barrier is gone before you even say hello.
Built to be trusted
Status and message content are protected in transit and at rest. We never sell your data or share it for advertising — no ads, no data brokers. Reports go to a real person, and filing one blocks the other person immediately. Read more on our Safety Center or our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.
Questions before you sign up
Who can see my status?
Other members, from the moment you complete your profile. It's a normal, visible profile fact — never gated behind a match, and never public or indexed by search engines.
Is verification required?
No. CommonGround doesn't offer status verification during this beta — every profile, verified or not, is equally real and equally visible.
Which statuses are currently supported?
HIV, and HSV-1 or HSV-2 (oral or genital) — you can select any combination that applies to you.
Is the beta free?
Yes, free during the beta.
How do daily candidates work?
Each day you get a small, considered set of candidates — not an endless swipe stack. You can like or pass on each one.
How do blocking, reporting, and deletion work?
Blocking takes effect immediately and works both ways. Filing a report blocks that person too, at the same moment, and goes to a real person for review. You can permanently delete your account and your data at any time from your account settings.
