The gay hookup app Grindr, which has more than 3.6 million daily active users across the world, has been providing its users’ HIV status to two other companies, BuzzFeed News has learned.
The two companies — Apptimize and Localytics, which help optimize apps — receive some of the information that Grindr users choose to include in their profiles, including their HIV status and “last tested date.”
Because the HIV information is sent together with users’ GPS data, phone ID, and email, it could identify specific users and their HIV status

This is why I have "HIV Negative" in my Tinder profile.

Can you imagine if you participated in a hobby where you exchanged bodily fluids with tons of random people that have a disease with no cure? Totally not a mental illness

From then one gay dude I know, he’s told me that the app is used more these days for selling/acquiring meth than actual gay dating

The strain of HIV that is prevalent in America is almost impossible to get from heterosexual, PiV intercourse.

The non-news of this news is that most of the users who put their Positive HIV status on there, don't really give a frick if anyone knows, as they are LOOKING for other Positive partners. The real shady shite is the number of guys saying they're on PrEP daily. That's like trusting a bitch you don't know to tell you to 'leave it in' b/c she's on birth control.
PrEP works and is damn near 100% effective in preventing HIV transmission. HOWEVER, it's expensive as frick, not covered under most insurance, and it must be taken as prescribed.
