In developed countries, the lives of HIV seropositive patients have not been unaffected by the technological revolution initiated by internet. HIV seropositive patients use the Web as a tool for searching information, meeting other Web users and developing social networks. In July 2008, taking advantage of the advent of Web technology 2.0, AIDES, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting AIDS, launched Seronet, a website premised on a communitarian objective that aims to improve access to knowledge, provide a forum for sharing individual experience of the disease and break the cycle of isolation. Despite certain limitations, a relatively wide support network has gradually developed around Seronet. The long-term impact of this network on isolation, the development of autonomy, and the encouragement of a communitarian involvement of HIV-positive patients in terms of healthcare will need to be assessed.
