YES....you will see this post in my various tribes, so if you've seen it in another tribe you're a member of.........Don't Bitch. OKAY! And I say this in jest:-)
This gay dating site is unique in regards, to its approach, for its membership. Here’s the premise of the site, written and originated by the creator of the site:
“Welcome to Dissident Dating”
“Maybe you don't test for HIV or maybe you did and just don't trust the results. Maybe you've learned that AIDS is not caused by HIV, and that tests are inaccurate. Then you can meet like-minded people here, make friends, date, and...well, its up to you! On this site no one posts "status" because negative and positive are proven to be meaningless or at best misleading. Why not live and love!”
My Observation:
With all the fear and pandemonium about dating (these days) a person labeled ‘so-called’ hiv-antibody positive, this site doesn’t ask that you reveal your ‘status’ because the members are dissidents, and have accepted, not to accept, the fear based paradigm of hiv ‘antibodies’ being the cause of aids.
Definition of ‘Antibody’: any of numerous Y-shaped protein molecules produced by B cells as a primary immune defense, each molecule and its clones having a unique binding site that can combine with the complementary site of a foreign antigen, as on a virus or bacterium, thereby disabling the antigen and signaling other immune defenses.
So if you’ve been labeled hiv-antibody positive, or negative, or just don’t know, no one on the dating site will judge you about that. Just be prepared for a vast amount of mind-blowing (and boggling) knowledge from some of the members, you may come to know, on the site.
What I find interesting about the site, is it’s ability, to reach out to people, who, are taking a different stance and approach on dating, loving, meeting someone new, and being with someone who shares their views about the ‘Otherside’ of the hiv paradigm and model. And hey…you just might learn something new, and a thang-or-two, from a member, or so.
This is not a debate, or bitching, or mud-slinging site; that usually happens after you’re in a relationship. It’s a gay DATING site, with a majority of members who are interested in meeting and getting to know others, who question(s) the model we call hiv. Revealing your status (I would assume) – to another member – it entirely up to you and he, if you care to include it in your dialogue, but not required.
The site is new, so it will be a matter of time, when the membership continues to grow.
It is ‘not’ to assume that every member joining -- this site -- are considered as hiv antibody pos, because a lot of people aren’t, because they know enough and don’t believe hiv=aids, to be afraid of being with someone label as pos:

Be open-minded. You may met someone who can change you life for the better. One just never knows, where cupid may strike.

Re: A New Gay Dating Site……with a twist
Wed, June 4, 2008 - 2:46 PMOi, your post asking us to ignore the elephant in the room . This from an open-minded individual.
"negative and positive are proven to be meaningless or at best misleading"? I disagree on many levels that the HIV virus has not been shown to be an indicator for potentially contracting AIDS. 20 years of research contradicts this statement. Reply with some articles that proves this rather than propaganda from a 3rd party site with no proof to back it's statement. That said, I do like the general idea. STD status shouldn't effect who you get to know and, hopefully, fall in love with. There are already too many barriers to love out there, why add more?
First off, I think getting tested is my responsibility to myself. I don't like getting tested regularly as much as the next guy. But I do. It's not just a responsibility to myself but to those I know and may know. I am in a relationship now so don't get tested as regularly as I used to. But two and six months into the relationship, we both got tested. We did this out of love and respect for ourselves and each other.
I do agree that HIV status shouldn't be an arbiter for falling in love. I've known many couples who have been mix positive and negative who have had incredible, wonderful loving relationships. Their lives grow together and the HIV status has no effect on the love they share and their appreciation for each other. However, AIDs is a part of their everyday lives. They don't have the luxury of being dissidents saying that HIV doesn't matter and doesn't impact their lives daily.
Asking someone's HIV status is not part of my dating or social style and never has been. But safety at all times is, which makes any STD status question moot. Status is not something you need to know when you are getting to know someone. But when physical intimacy is involved the other party has a right to know. You have the responsibility to know to tell them. We've all seen the stigma and mental anguish society is dishing out for HIV, which may be why this site focuses on it over other STDs.
Anyone would be foolish to think HIV is the only STD out there that's deadly or long-term. What about Syphillis? What about HSV? We don't ask anyone's status on those, why HIV? What bothers me about this site is that it promotes an urban myth that testing is something to ignore and pointless. The HIV virus has been shown to be a primary correlating factor for contracting AIDS, 99% of people who have AIDS have the HIV virus. Though HIV isn't necessarily the cause of AIDS it is highly correlated ( aids.about.com/cs/opposin...ection.htm) . The dissident dating site doesn't weigh in any science supporting what it's stating. Seems more like political righteousness to promote social indifference to the plague of our age. Since when does being dissident equate with being stupid? -

I agree there. It's a site for those that have reached a conclusion about their health, and the alternatives they have choosen. All are responsible about their present status, and do reveal -- it's just being responsible. I am one that always advocate a person getting checked for bacterial infections - STD because there are immediate treatments for it -- either naturally or medical. Most of the members on the site, base their findings about HIV from studies, site resources as:
video.google.com/videoplay
aliveandwell.org
www.duesberg.com
groups.msn.com/aidsmythex...eneral.msnw
From noted and respected scientics and doctors who have question, and are doing more research in regards to hiv and aids.
Thanks for your comments.
