HIV and Single's mission, as stated on their website is to help people living with HIV find friendship, love and companionship without the fear of disclosure, stigmas or judgment.
Founder, Matt Beram says, "Dating for HIV positive singles is very difficult, especially when dating someone who is HIV negative. They face rejection, judgement and having to disclose their HIV status. They don't have to worry about this stuff on our site."
Beram founded HIV and Single seven years ago after an immediate family member was diagnosed HIV positive. This family member told him that since being diagnosed it was very hard to meet people and she felt alone. This was his inspiration to build the site. 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 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 many other success stories posted on the site. Stories of people falling in love, getting married and finding renewed hope.
There are a number of HIV personals sites online. Many charge a monthly fee for a premium membership. Positivesdatings.com charges $14.95, and Positivesingles.com charges $29.95 per month for premium membership. There are also some 100% free HIV dating sites.

Do you give space to your partner? Remember that he/she had a life before meeting you. Give your partner some space to live the way they want. Don’t demand total attention and companionship at all the times. You will never have a break-up if you let the other person live life as they want.
Let us assume that you are dating somebody and feel that the processes can be carried forward. Many of us are so desperate to search for a good partner that they begin accommodating during dating. Are you doing that? To please your date, are you accommodating your values about life, religion and other such areas? If yes, then you will have a break down after some time. Better to be yourself and let the other person know exactly about your values. If he/she is OK with it, continue.
Do not accommodate your values during dating. It never gives good results over time. Moreover your partner may feel cheated when they come to know your real thoughts. A bad break up may be the result. Avoid this pitfall during dating.
One of the important questions that loom before us on our first date is what we should be wearing? Giving the right impression on the very first date is vital as it would decide whether you will meet the person in the future or not. Therefore the way you look and present yourself matters a lot, no matter how much your date would deny the fact that looks are not on his/her list of qualities that a potential partner should have. The first date used to be a formal affair when both met up for dinner at a posh restaurant. However, with the changing times, this popular practice has become passe and dinner at the local diner or going to a ball game or a music concert and other such activities have replaced the formal affair that the first date used to be. No matter where the two of you meet, it is very essential for you to dress up appropriately. Here are a few tips for you to get the right look on your first date.
Girls are almost paranoid before the first date. After the date is planned, they spend endless hours at the mall searching for the right outfit, the right pair of shoes and the right accessories. Another important aspect is makeup and jewelry. Makeup and jewelry should complement your looks and not dominate. Excessive use of makeup would make you look like a clown and going over the top with jewelry would make you look like a portable jewelry store. Either ways, the guy would find it very embarrassing to walk in your company.
If your date plans to take you to a posh and classy restaurant for dinner, it would pay to go light and subtle. The best possible dress on such an occasion would be a cocktail dress. As it would be a dinner date, colors like black, maroon, beige, forest green, white and deep blue would go better than their lighter versions. If you think that the cocktail dress would be too flashy, the LBD or the little black dress is an evergreen option. It is a safe way to ensure that you look great without thinking too much. Another possible option is a fancy white shirt with a classy pair of trousers or a smart little skirt. Keep makeup to a limit so that it accentuates your features. Give heavy accessories a miss and don something on the lighter side.
On the other hand, if your date plans to take you somewhere casual, think of denims, a bright and attractive top and sneakers to go with it. In this case you can accessorize according to what you might do on usual days. Avoid something that may look too revealing as it may give a wrong impression. Don’t forget to pay attention to what you do to your hair. A girl’s hair is a great turn on for men and if done the right way, it can do wonder to what he feels about you. Don’t forget a good perfume as guys are first attracted by the way a girl smells. Most often they relate a girl to one particular fragrance.
Just keep in mind, that you wear only what you are comfortable in.
Guys don’t have to worry so much as girls have to about what to wear on the first date. But still some guys do face confusion choosing what is appropriate enough to wear on their first date. If you are confused and don’t think that you will be able to choose the right outfit all by yourself, it is a good idea to have a female member of the family or a female friend to help you in your endeavor to look your best. Getting a female’s approval is a good idea as they would know what other girls would want a guy to look like on the first date. Another thing that guys ought to remember before their first date is basic hygiene.
If the date is arranged at an upmarket restaurant, a crisp black suit is the right option. Choose a suit that makes you look classy. If you think a suit is extravagant for your style, stick to a formal shirt in the richer and darker shades. Pay attention to what you may want to do with your accessories. Good accessories like the right watch, belt and shoes can help you earn brownie points with your date.
In case you have arranged to go for some place more casual, the best would be to stick to denims and a shirt to go with it. Make sure you wear the clothes with the right fitting lest your jeans droop too low or your shirt doesn’t seem your size. Girls hate these little things and probably would not opt for a second date if your dressing sense has such anomalies.
It is essential that you wear the right kind of clothes. Avoid something too loose or something too tight. It is always the best idea to wear just what you may be comfortable in.
