Our Commitment to Community Support

The Issue We Face

In the United States, millions of people are living with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Despite advances in medicine and awareness, the stigma surrounding STIs often creates barriers to connection, understanding, and support. Many feel isolated, ashamed, or hesitant to share their experiences—even with those closest to them. This isolation can take a toll on mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.


We recognize the gap: while medical treatment is critical, emotional support and community are just as essential. Everyone deserves a safe space to connect, share, and thrive without judgment.

Connecting Lives, Empowering Health

Pulse+ was born from the belief that no one should have to navigate life with an STI alone. We saw a need for a platform that fosters connection and understanding—where individuals can be their authentic selves, find people who truly "get it," and feel empowered to live full, vibrant lives.



We knew that addressing this gap meant creating a space specifically for people living with STIs—a place where you’re not defined by a diagnosis, but celebrated for who you are. Pulse+ is more than just an app; it’s a movement to break down stigma and build a community rooted in hope, compassion, and support.
