Nerve.com article features PositiveFriends.com

A few weeks ago I received a phone call from Nerve.com writer, Lynn Harris.  Harris was doing research for her article, Searching for Normal.  Do dating websites for people with STDs liberate or quarantine?  The article touches on an important subject if niche dating websites segregate that particular section of society.  She has viewpoints on both sides of the argument; however I firmly stand by my feelings that niche websites allow for open communication between individuals without the fear of discrimination or backlash. 

Because PositiveFriends.com focuses on building support networks for all those affected by STDs, we allow for a more diverse population then your run-of-the-mill dating website.  With 1 in 3 Americans having an STD, chances are you or someone you know is dealing with this on a very personal basis.  How do you react when you find out?  How do you talk to those around you about it?  How do you stop your own bias from filtering into your attitude toward that person (or yourself!)

Overall I found this article to be a great way for people to at least start the dialogue that has been severely lacking in our society.
