India is home to the world’s third largest population of HIV/AIDS patients. However, finding a partner is not an easy task for an HIV-positive person in India for various reasons, including stigmatization of the disease and the logistics of communication-millions of people do not have access to the internet and may be unable to use a computer. Anil Kumar Valiv, founder of Positivesaathi.com was inspired by his HIV-positive friend’s desire for a normal life when creating the site. He states that that the website may even decrease the spread of HIV. “Often parents give in to social pressure and knowingly marry off sons with HIV infection to healthy women who in turn get infected. Exclusive marriage portals for HIV positive people will at least give these people the freedom to choose their own life partners and save many innocent lives,” he said.

Hey guys, I was searching the web today and came up on a few corporate websites that I was able to get in quite easily. I’m awesome! So I went in and found a bunch of Google Wave invites for their employees just sitting there. I gave away 13 of these to all my friends already and there are a few left. I don’t want to get in trouble by listing the steps up here, if you want one, shoot me an email to stevencruisest@gmail.com. BTW, it’s not that easy to do this, I’ll have to talk you through it. But I can only do a few, so when you get one then you need to go on and help others in getting another. Spread the goods around.
