HIV Dating - How To Meet Straight Positive Singles

By: Nicholas Longridge

For lots of straight positive singles it can seem that they do not get the same dating and relationship options that gay males with HIV do. It appears there is a ton HIV dating services dedicated to gay males and a lot of heterosexuals with HIV think they are destined to a life of solitude. This is an old belief, a throwback from the eighties and nineties, and, this is no longer the situation. Today, there are a plethora of services to help straight HIV positive singles find love and companionship.

If you recall the eighties and even early nineties, than you recall the erroneous belief that HIV was a "gay disease". For this reason, when AIDS service organizations (ASO's) started popping up, they catered to gay males. Even though straight males were being being diagnosed HIV positive, they were unwilling to use ASO's due to homophobia. Unfortunately, these organizations could only help people willing to come to them. Thus, their services remained oriented to predominantly gay male clientele.

Things are changing! A lot of organizations have worked hard on ways to become more obtainable to heterosexual women and men. Activities and support groups aimed at attracting straight people living with HIV are now in place.

But what about people who are not interested in supportive services? What about HIV positive singles who are just looking for HIV Dating resources?

Where are the straight positive singles to be found?

Thank God for the Internet.

HIV Dating sites are available and their single objective is to connect HIV positive singles. There are a lot of straight positive singles on these websites. All you have to do is Google HIV dating or positive singles, and you will yeild a ton of results. The bulk of them are free to enroll and check the profiles.

If you don't have a PC, places like AIDS Project Los Angeles and a lot of other ASO's as well as the public library make available pcs for individuals to make use of, free of charge. Simply check your local ASO or community library.

A word of warning - even though these web sites are intended for positive singles, they are open to everyone. Think cautiously about the information you place on these web sites. If you plan on meeting someone in person, do so in a public place. The Web can be deceptive, and you might assume you know someone following a few e-mails. It takes a long time to know someone, so be wary and take it slow and steady. On the positive side, there is a world of possible friends or lovers out there.

Another fun thing you can do is take an HIV cruise. There are a good amount of cruises available strictly for positive singles and there are even ones strictly for straight positive singles. These can be a really enjoyable and relaxing way to meet people! You can unwind someplace stunning, meeting new and exciting people, dance all night, all without having to be anxious about judgement, stigmas or having "the talk". Just Google "HIV cruise" and you will uncover a ton of results.

There are also many HIV communities available on the internet. For example, if you have a Facebook account, perform a search for "HIV" in their groups section. There are a ton! These groups can inform you of various events, festivals, and other HIV positive gatherings, where you could possibly meet other positive singles.

Try Googling various terms as well such as "HIV events", "HIV groups", "Meet HIV singles", "HIV Dating", etc. You are certain to come across a lot of resources.

There's a lot of services out there for you to meet friends and possible lovers. Do not allow your HIV to keep you locked away like a hermit.
