The Economist writes: HIV sufferers find love online
DATING in South Africa has taken a more positive slant. For the past few years, people have been able to hook up through the Positive Connection, a website offering dating services for HIV sufferers. The service is the brainchild of Ben Sassman, a salesman living in Johannesburg. A few years ago, two of his friends told him they were HIV positive and that they had trouble dating. When they revealed their status, women invariably fled. Mr Sassman suggested online dating, but realised that existing services do not help those with HIV. So he launched www.thepositiveconnection.co.za in 2003....
I stumbled upon this article while researching the cross border mobile dating opportunity. The Postive Connection dating service deserves to be celebrated. It is a commmendable effort. I hope Mr Sassman is able to get additional funding to support and expand the service.
