A bold and courageous woman has written to a relationship expert searching for a soulmate. The woman, who is HIV positive, says she's interested in dating a man with the same status as hers.

This woman says many men have run away after she disclosed her status and she's clear that she doesn't want to infect innocent men out there.

"I'm down, lonely and depressed because I don't have a man I can call mine. I'm HIV positive and I meet a lot of guys that want me but all they want is sex in which I don't agree to or some will even try to force me without a condom because they don't know my status (not like it's written on the face). The few ones I like and I decide to open up to them about my status they run away.

All I need is love and someone who is also HIV positive and wants a serious relationship, to settle down. I don't want to spread the virus because my conscience won't let me. If you're HIV positive and need a serious relationship please contact me," she wrote.

What an honest woman? Here are some of the comments from social media users
