Comment: In this case online dating looks like part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Poz dating: Poz guy seeks Poz guy
Poz dating appears to be this month’s resolution. I finally took the plunge and posted an (anonymous) ad in order to find me someone to love. My previous attempts with personals on poz.com having made only very small progress, I decided I had nothing to lose. Here it is.
“Good looking, fun, sentimental, kinky, horny, friendly seeks similar for friendship, fun or relationship meet for coffee, chat see what happens Not into unsafe sex.”
Until I reached this level of desperation, I did not think I would ever have to resort to serosorting but that only proves that I was just as prejudiced agains hiv as the rest of the world.
Because gumtree (similar to craigslist) is a mainstream site, my ad has been more successful than my poz.com profile in getting attention and I got five or six messages from interested gentlemen. Now, because it is a mainstream site, that also means that the replies may not be appropriate. In fact two of those gay/bi gentlemen appeared to be attached and looking for fun only; with three others I have a good few e-mail exchanges already; one of those last three I have even met.
That last one does not seem to understand the meaning of poz, unfortunately, so I still have some explaining to do methinks. We have met already and dined and danced though no chemistry there… but enough sparks to make a good friend.
So, still looking!
