HIV Dating Web site Provides Understanding & Closeness To HIV Positive Singles

"It's a unique concept" said Matt Beram, co-founder of the site, "Because though it is an HIV dating website and its main intention is to connect HIV positive singles living with HIV or AIDS, we also provide an HIV forum, dating articles, HIV Chat etc. The site is quite comprehensive and goes beyond only dating."

Founded in September 2008, the website debuted in December and has already developed to over 6000 members.

Beram and partner Elisa Forni have been close friends for over fifteen years. The concept for an HIV Dating website, came from one of Beram's closest relatives who was diagnosed HIV positive 10 years ago. She was describing to Beram and Forni how complicated dating is since being diagnosed. The stories were disturbing to listen to and they wanted to help.

"We published surveys directed to people living with HIV," said Forni, "We wanted to determine if dating was a struggle for other people living with HIV. The response we got was amazing." They received a large number of responses from people telling them how lonely they were and how difficult it is to find love. "Some of the responses were so sad" Forni said, "All I could think to myself was that these people deserve love and companionship too."

"The website is extremely comprehensive and just as good as the large personal dating websites in existence," enthuses Beram. "You can search via zip code, interests, sexual preference, hair color, any little detail.

"There are a few other HIV Dating sites, but we really go the extra mile," concludes Beram. "We cater to the individual, and Elisa and I personally answer all e-mails. We never want someone to feel like they are alone dealing with a big company. We always want them to know that we totally empathize with them, and that we're here to help.
