Many HIV-positive persons use the Internet to address at least some of their needs for HIV-specific information and support. The aim of this multimethod study was to understand how a diverse sample of persons who were recently diagnosed with HIV (PRDH) used the Internet after an HIV diagnosis and their perceptions of online HIV-related information and resources. HIV-positive persons (N = 63) who had been diagnosed since the year 2000 were recruited primarily through HIV-related websites and HIV medical clinics. One third of participants (33%, n = 21) were gay or bisexual men, 25% (n = 16) were heterosexual men, 32% (n = 20) were heterosexual women, and 10% (n = 6) were transgender women (male to female). Semistructured interviews and brief postinterview surveys were used to collect qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative findings suggested that the most appealing websites to PRDH included those that: (1) provided usable information on topics of immediate concern; (2) used accessible formats that were easy to navigate; (3) were perceived as trustworthy, and (4) provided access to diverse perspectives of persons living with HIV/AIDS. Topics that PRDH found most useful included various medical treatment-related issues, tools for coping with depression and fear, and learning how others cope with HIV. Incorporating the perspectives of HIV-positive persons into the design and content of HIV-related websites is important to enhance their appeal for this diverse and growing population.
许多 HIV 阳性者利用互联网来满足他们对 HIV 特定信息和支持的至少部分需求。本多方法研究的目的是了解最近被诊断为 HIV（PRDH）的不同人群在 HIV 诊断后如何使用互联网，以及他们对在线 HIV 相关信息和资源的看法。主要通过与 HIV 相关的网站和 HIV 诊所招募了自 2000 年以来被诊断出患有 HIV 的 HIV 阳性者（N=63）。参与者中有三分之一（33%，n=21）是男同性恋或双性恋者，25%（n=16）是异性恋男性，32%（n=20）是异性恋女性，10%（n=6）是跨性别女性（男变女）。采用半结构化访谈和简短的访谈后调查来收集定性和定量数据。定性研究结果表明，对 PRDH 最具吸引力的网站包括：（1）提供有关当前关注主题的有用信息；（2）使用易于浏览的易于访问的格式；（3）被认为是值得信赖的，并且（4）提供对 HIV 感染者和艾滋病患者的不同观点的访问。PRDH 认为最有用的主题包括各种与医疗相关的治疗问题、应对抑郁和恐惧的工具以及学习他人如何应对 HIV 的方法。将 HIV 阳性者的观点纳入 HIV 相关网站的设计和内容中，对于提高他们对这个多样化和不断增长的人群的吸引力非常重要。
