Russell, you are confusing antimatter with negative matter/energy.
According to convention antimatter has inverted electrical charge and
therefore when the amount of matter and antimatter are in equal amount,
the net charge is zero. Antimatter, however, has positive mass
corresponding to positive energy in the sense of E=mc^2 . Consequently,
antimatter as well as matter give space a positive curvature.

Negative matter/energy however are different. If negative matter/energy
could exist they would give space a negative curvature. Negative
matter/energy may be identical to dark energy.
