On the one hand, a huge and unacceptable breach of privacy. On the other, wtf is someone doing in a dating/hookup app with fucking HIV?!

[–] cowfodder 11 points 9 months ago

Disclosing a relevant piece of medical information and allowing potential partners to make an informed decision. HIV is no longer a death sentence, and prep plus other protection is highly effective. The only thing that is hard to protect against is the stigma and judgement from uninformed morons.
