Positive network defies borders

A social network for HIV-positive gay men is connecting members internationally to help build new friendships and emotional support.

PositivelyFrisky.com is a community specifically constructed for HIV+ members in the English-speaking world (including Ireland, the UK, the US, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Canada).

The social network was deployed by Friend Factory, a niche social networking firm that has constructed communities for wheelchair users, bariatric, and military communities.

For HIV-positive people who felt restricted to making friends in and about their local communities or within organisations for their advocacy, the PositivelyFrisky.com creators wanted to focus on connecting them with others from the comfort of their homes.

Their aim is to help members build and maintain friendships with people sharing similar life experiences around the world, as well as be informed on advances in HIV research and treatment.
