HIV+ Matrimonial Event:  Aug 1, 2010

Wake Up Pune with the support of its partners, will be holding a matrimonial event some time soon for people living with HIV. This day-long event will be held in the city of Pune and open to people from the states of Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat.

The purpose of this event is to create a platform for people living with HIV to meet prospective partners for marriage. With increase in access to treatment and health care, people with HIV have the opportunity to live long and healthy lives. There are however few opportunities created for them to meet and build relationships with other HIV positive people.

Every man and woman, HIV+ or not, has the right to find happiness in a loving and sercure relationship.  Match-making events such as this one help tackle HIV-related stigma and discrimination by supporting the equal right of all to marriage and happiness.  This matrimonial event will give an opportunity to those living with HIV to meet people they can relate to and build lasting relationships built on mutual care and support.
