HIV :: Online Dating helps HIV positive people

Online dating and matchmaking services definately help HIV positive people to conquer HIV stigma. Not only can anti-retroviral therapy (ART) prolong the lives of HIV-positive people by more than 20 years, infected couples can now get uninfected children, thanks to advances in medical technology.

In an effort to help people, Ben Sassman, founder of The Positive Connection, self-funded his own online dating service. Since its start in 2003, thousands of HIV-infected people were able to find love through his website – positiveconnections.org.
