Should Grindr add HIV status filtering?

News & Politics

Recently some Grindr users received surveys asking if they would like to be able to filter guys by HIV status.

To explore this issue further we caught up with ENUF Ambassador, JOY presenter and a team member from The Informer Dean Beck to discuss his perspectives and what this means for HIV negative and positive guys.

Also on the show, Daniel Reeders a PhD student from the Australian National University.  Daniel’s research is looking at how stigma is used within health campaigns. He wrote an article that appeared on Samesame about the possibility of Grindr introducing a HIV status filter and tells Grindr to “cut this out. Right now“. Daniel discusses this further with The Informer.
