A pregnant Nisha was at a hospital in Parbhani, in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, for a routine blood test. But her world came crashing down when she learnt she was HIV positive. The test results of her husband confirmed her suspicion that she had contracted the virus from him. Yet, it was she who was blamed for their condition and thrown out of the house. Her worst fears came true when her son was born HIV positive. After her husband divorced her, she says she lost her will to live. Saathi is the Hindi word for friend or partner. Today, Nisha, 42, leads a normal life, having found an HIV positive husband from Kolhapur to support her and her 11-year-old son. That sentiment is shared by the more than 5,000 HIV positive people registered with the website. And they all have Anil Valiv to thank for bringing them back from the brink. Mr Valiv, 43, who founded PositiveSaathi. During an earlier stint in Latur town, Mr Valiv started HIV tests for truck drivers, among those most at risk from HIV-Aids. He says a doctor once told him about an HIV positive man who was desperate to get married. Image caption Anil Valiv founded PositiveSaathi. The doctor was in a dilemma. That made me realise how difficult it was for such people to find a spouse. I cannot forget the longing in his eyes for a family and children. Such is the stigma attached to the infection that when he died in 2006, his father refused to light his pyre at his sparsely attended funeral. That is remarkable considering internet access in Indian villages is poor. Around 250 of those registered are Indians living abroad. Ramesh Dhongde, a 43-year-old rickshaw driver in Pune, is among the hundreds who have attended these meetings in search of hope and love. Image caption Mr Valiv says HIV positive people in India are ostracised and treated inhumanely When Mr Dhongde learnt 11 years ago that he had contracted the virus from his now dead wife, he thought it was the end of the road for him. He was most worried about the future of his only daughter. Then, at a meeting organised by Mr Valiv two years ago, he met his current wife, a 33-year-old divorcee who works in a women's co-operative. To spread the word about these meetings, Mr Valiv prints posters with his own money and puts them up in public places. Barely 40 came and all the food had to be distributed among the hospital's poor patients. When he saw that men far outnumbered women at such meetings, he offered to pay the latter's travel costs. He has already spent tens of thousands of rupees from his own pocket, but is happy that the participation of women has doubled. He says since most participants walk in riddled with guilt and despair, it takes some effort to get them to open up. Another problem is that despite being HIV positive, most of them insist on a match from their own caste. Women with children are not readily preferred, more so if they have daughters. But based on the thank you messages and updates on the website, he believes that number to be between 200 and 400, some involving Indians living in Singapore, United Kingdom, Germany and elsewhere. His biggest success perhaps was in 2010 when 22 people got married in one day at a meeting in Pune. One of them was Lata, a health worker. She was devastated when she lost her first husband to HIV in 2002. She too was diagnosed as HIV positive when she was only 26. Although her son Ravi, then a little over a year old, was HIV negative, she felt broken. Lata brought Ravi to the meeting and there they met Vijay. A year older than her, Vijay had lost his wife to HIV and had himself been living with the virus for over 12 years. They now have a two-year-old son Rishi, who too is HIV negative. Mr Valiv says nearly two dozen couples that he helped get married have had healthy children. As the popularity of his website has increased, friends, well-wishers and organisations devoted to similar causes have offered help. Mr Valiv is also using the website to bring together donors and NGOs interested in supporting HIV positive orphans.

Today we no longer have Section 377, instead we have the freedom of the queer movement and a new difference for LGBTI people to seek their rights, protect their dignity and access healthcare. This figure is small compared to most other middle-income countries but because of India's huge population 1. Isn't that a reason enough to register here. This is an issue for the female custodes of men from key populations particularly, given the concentrated nature of the epidemic. So I certainly hope that's the next step.
