S.Africa Online Dating Helps Fight AIDS Stigma

October 8, 2007
By Michael Georgy


Jeanette is seeking the ideal man. Someone sensitive. Funny. Sexy. And, most of all, HIV-positive.

That's why she turned to The Positive Connection, an online dating agency that offers HIV-positive South Africans looking for love a way to get around the stigma of the disease.

"Everything goes well until a guy learns about my problem and dumps me," said Jeanette, who asked that her real name not be used.
