HIV and Single's mission, as declared on their site is to assist people living with HIV discover friendship, love and companionship without the fear of disclosure, stigmas or judgment.
Founder, Matt Beram states, "Dating for HIV positive singles is extremely hard, especially when dating someone who is HIV negative. They confront rejection, judgement and having to disclose their HIV status. They do not have to worry about this stuff on our site."
Beram founded HIV and Single 7 years ago after an immediate family member was diagnosed HIV positive. This family member told him that ever since being diagnosed it was incredibly challenging to meet people and she felt lonely. This was his inspiration to build the website. Beram claims this family member has since met and fallen in love with someone she met on the site.
"She has met and fallen in love with a man on the web site and they are living together and are very happy together. That alone is worth it and fills my heart with joy", Beram states.
There are lots of other success testimonies posted on their website. Stories of people falling in love, getting hitched and finding renewed hope.
There are quite a few HIV personals sites on line. Many charge a monthly fee for a premium membership. Positivesdatings.com costs $14.95, and Positivesingles.com costs $29.95 per month for premium membership. There are also a number of 100% free HIV personals sites.
