You’ll never forget the day
you learned you’re HIV positive. The experience of walking out of the clinic in
a fog and collapsing into sobs is all too common. For most of us, a period of depression
followed our diagnosis, but for a lot of us, depression predates the bad news.
A person who’s self-isolating, or has been cut off by their family—and it still
happens, even in 2016—has a much harder time overcoming depression.
POZ SOCIAL a social network dating app where HIV positive people can receive a sense of relief by speaking to others in similar circumstances. Help us make our goal so we can be #doinggood in the world. It is never easy to come to terms with a HIV diagnosis. From the medical and health perspective, sexually transmitted diseases like the human immune deficiency virus, herpes and many more are quite complicated and some are chronic. Some are fatal. From the social and psychological perspective, there is a stigma, heartbreak, shock and then there are the unending challenges that have to be overcome.
Should a person with HIV live a secluded
life? Should one have no partner, no best friend and not have a life of
fulfillment in other terms? Well, people with HIV have been living, working,
thriving and there are many who have got married, have adopted kids and are
trying to make the most of what the world has to offer and what they have to

The rise of HIV dating is more real than
you would think. But there is more deception than honesty. There are many
people affected with STD or having HIV who don’t disclose the truth and instead
go around dating and meeting potential partners being a normal person. There is
of course the fear of rejection, the still taboo like stigma and then one fears
living in isolation. Well, that doesn’t have to be the case any longer.
There are authentic STD and HIV dating
sites where people can get together, meet likeminded people who wouldn’t judge
a person simply because they have an STD or HIV and one can find a friend, date
and possibly love. There is no rule that prevents people with STD and HIV from falling
in love, going out on dates, doing things that others normally indulge in and
living life as one should. Because of this HIV needs to become less
stigmatized.
Meeting others who have STD and HIV, dating
those who wouldn’t mind going out with someone with STD and HIV and having a
good time without lies, deception and stigma; that is what POZ SOCIAL aspires
to accomplish. A safe environment where others who are
A brand new application POZ SOCIAL is
trying to fix this issue bringing together an entire community - HIV dating
doesn’t have to be complicated. It is just about one detail, albeit
significant, but not one that has to lead to judgmental perceptions. Just as
someone would go about creating any normal dating profile, STD and HIV dating
would involve every such detail with just one additional disclosure. Meeting
those who wouldn’t have a problem is much better than lying or deceiving others
just to have a good time.
