A new [social networking site](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internet-social-caf) for people living with STD's has launched. PositiveFriends is the result of two years of R&D.

The site provides different levels of privacy to match the comfort level of participants. Members can manipulate the images they upload to crop or blur photos to protect anonymity.
