I understand this is a sensitive and important question that many people with STDs grapple with. No, it would not be selfish to use other dating sites as long as you're being honest and upfront about your status. In fact, this transparency demonstrates responsibility and respect for potential partners.

Being open about your diagnosis allows others to make informed decisions about their health and relationships. While PositiveSingles.com provides a dedicated platform for people with STDs, you have every right to explore other dating options that align with your preferences and goals.

The key factors are:
- Being honest about your status before any intimate contact
- Sharing information at an appropriate time in getting to know someone
- Respecting others' right to make informed choices
- Practicing safe dating and sexual health practices

Remember that having an STD doesn't define you or limit where you can seek meaningful connections. Your honesty and forthrightness are admirable qualities that demonstrate character and consideration for others.

If you'd like a more specialized dating environment, PositiveSingles.com remains an option where you can connect with others who understand your situation firsthand.
