Dismissing the love of a POZ person

I came across someone on SILVERDADDIES and decided to chat him up. He has those masculine drop-dead gorgeous good looks and piercing blue eyes. I'm not quite sure what it is that piercing blue eyes pierce, but he's certainly got them. We also connected on another more popular social media website that I'm not allowed to mention here. I think that social media website sometimes goes by the name META. Anyway, even though he is 1,800+ miles away, he let me know of his HIV+ status and added that that is usually a deal breaker.
"People opt not to be your friend or to communicate with you if they know you are HIV+."
"Pretty much."
That really saddens me. It's not like I'm looking for a bareback partner. There are certainly many unevolved guys out there in the social circles.
