Itd be great if on your profile there was a non profile listed way to say if you are or aren't okay with people who have hiv. Like... status preference. Positive only, negative only, or I don't mind. That way all of those who specifically are not okay with hiv can be filtered out and those with hiv don't message them and receive horrible comments. This wouldn't reveal a person's status because the yes or I don't care options don't mean that person has hiv, it just means they don't mind chatting with someone who does. Also where this isn't a listed preference no one would be subjected to comments like why aren't you okay with this or you're ignorant or any other hate comments it could just be blamed on an internet glitch or any other number of things. But as someone with hiv I get a lot of hate messages just because I have my status posted and I feel like that deters many from posting thier status. But if people who would be mean to people like me could filter out from that situation to begin with it could all be avoided. Just a thought, I'm sure it could be worded better or tweaked in the actual implementation but there's the foundation. Thanks!
