Vddate.com launched on September 4th 2007 to support a niche dating market that was greatly underserved. Vddate.com focused on offering a dating platform for people with STD's like Herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2), HPV, Chlamydia, H.I.V., A.I.D.S, genital warts, gonorrhea, and others. 

JupiterResearch announced that the U.S. online dating industry failed to grow its paid subscriber base in the last year. According to a new report entitled: "Online Dating in 2006: Pricing Strategies to Drive Subscriber Growth" authored by JupiterResearch Analyst Nate Elliott, industry growth in the last twelve months has been driven by higher monthly fees rather than an increasing number of subscribers.
