Have you ever heard of positive singles? Simply put, positive singles are those folks who suffer from from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like HPV, Herpes or HIV and AIDS. Did you know that over 60 million people ( many of whom are Christian singles) suffer from the stigma associated with having an STD? Additionally a recent survey showed that one in four (25%) of Teenage girls are positive singles suffering with Herpes.
Positive Singles, Shame and Loneliness
Positive singles have many difficulties and barriers to overcome, especially if they are Christian singles. Many feel isolated, rejected, alone and depressed, but feel they have no where to turn. Unfortunately, although we know by statistics that our churches have an epidemic of positive singles, few are reaching out to this needy group. In our opinion they are the “lepers” of the 21st Century, and they need our help.
Please remember to pray for this group of people. If you are a single Christian and a positive single, we want you to know that you are not alone, and there are people who can help. Please email us if you need assistance in this area, and we will refer you to the nearest clinic and Christian group that ministers to positive singles. Please know that Jesus loves you and offers complete cleansing and forgiveness.
~And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean~Mark 1:40-43

Hello and thank you for the encouraging words on ur website. I am a single woman living with herpes and I am finding it very difficult to cope. It would be nice to have a Christian support group to meet with. Can you help me? Thank you.

Hi,
My name is Patty and I have had G herpes for over 20 years and I feel as isolated today as I did when I first found out that I had this virus. You know when you go to a doctor they act like having herpes is nothing they don’t try to understand the emotional part is does to your life.
I live in a small town so I don’t like to put my picture on a website fear of someone that I know might see and recognize my picture. I did drive a few timnes to Springfield to a support group at night but it eventually was just too much especially driving at night. I would love to fin d some where fairly close to Carthage, Mo where you could go and meet good christian people that have this virus. I think it is especially hard when you are getting older and it doesn’t help when you are an extra sensetive person.
I would love to hear from you to give me some ideas where I can find someone that is effected the same way as I have been. If yoou would ever need my phone number I would be glad to give it to you.
Thanks for listening.
Patty
