Hopefully this message won't be too lenghty, but I am so upset right
now and just needed to vent. Let me explain. As we all know, being
HIV+ can be a very lonely experience and MOST of us would love to be
able to chat with others who understand, maybe even find a
relationship. Well, four days ago, I posted a profile in a Group
based in Africa. Although this group is not a POS site. Knowing the
statistics, I went for it anyway. I'm still chivering and astounded
by the cold way I was received. Four days my post had been viewed
over forty times and yet, not one reply. I'm not damn stupid. I
read the headlines billions and billions of people are infected right
now this minute. I only went in their looking for communication and
friendship.

I must add that being the type of person I am, after four days with
no response, I called them on it and only one single man claiming not
HIV+ had the courage to message me back.

He said, I had courage because most people don't even want to know
they have the virus not too mention letting others know they have it
out in the open in a forum like that. Well needless to say, I posted
anotehr message after that. I was very polite, even to my
surprise.! I stated, I guess it's where your from.......

I did say other things too, but I was polite. My intentions were
when I went into this, I was hoping that someone in the shadows
obviously would contact me, even if privately in my personal email.
I no of two HIV + males here in the U.S. who both married African
women within the past year. So what's going on? I go to my docs
office and their are people who are of African origin who get treated
in my clinic.
There is also an Ethiopian man who admitted he was Positive, but has
yet to say hello to me or respond to my email because I'm not
Ethiopian!

The dating site I'm speaking off boast of thousands of members! I
don't know about them, but to me that's means there are quite a few
HIV+ African men and women on that site who hasn't told anybody!
Well, well, well. Wouldn't you Agree!

Thanks for letting me vent. I'll keep you posted, and welcome all
responses.
