Grindr Shares Personal Information With Third-Parties

Given the current reality, you can do either of the following here:

A) Mark yourself as HIV positive in your profile, which Grindr will share with third parties.

B) Directly declare yourself as HIV-positive at some point in a conversation.

I’m not suggesting there are options without drawbacks.

I imagine a lot of folks declared it in their profile without knowing it would be shared and they probably declared to try to have a more positive experience over having one dreaded discussion after another. I think those folks have reason to be upset.

I agree that they have every right to be upset. Grindr didn’t need to share that kind of information with third parties.
