"It's an original concept" said Matt Beram, co-founder of the site, "Because although it is an HIV dating site and its main aim is to connect HIV positive singles living with HIV or AIDS, we also offer an HIV forum, dating articles, HIV Chat etc. The website is extremely comprehensive and goes beyond simply 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 15 years. The concept for an HIV Dating site, came from one of Beram's closest family members who was diagnosed HIV positive 10 years ago. She was telling to Beram and Forni how complicated dating is since being diagnosed. The stories were disturbing to hear and they desired to help. "We published surveys directed to people living with HIV," said Forni, "We wanted to determine if dating was a struggle for others living with HIV. The response we got was amazing." They received lots 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 anybody to feel like they're alone dealing with a large company. We always want them to know that we entirely empathize with them, and that we're here to help.
