本文讨论了伦敦男同性恋者如何使用互联网来满足性伴侣，或进行电子约会。基于面对面或通过互联网进行的定性访谈，本研究开发了一个帐户的信息技术如何调解与性行为的身份和风险的谈判。电子约会本身是一种基于互联网的交流（IBC）的拼凑或异质DIY实践。IBC的一个核心方面是根据用于描述性别身份的图像和文本来“过滤”潜在的电子约会。IBC对个人艾滋病毒风险管理方法的解释和解释是根据不同身份的含义来制定的，例如与艾滋病毒阳性相关的耻辱。本文提出了一种网络社会理论中的性取向。此外，在电子约会的艾滋病毒预防可以通过考虑与不同的艾滋病毒血清状态身份相关的艾滋病毒预防必要性的相互作用来解决。有理由鼓励对电子约会的风险进行更明确的IBC，并将电子约会者的专业知识纳入预防活动。此外，还需要重新思考艾滋病毒预防中的传统风险管理概念，为网络社会的风险管理提供空间。
This paper addresses how London gay men use the internet to meet sexual partners, or for e-dating. Based on qualitative interviews conducted face-to-face or via the internet, this research develops an account of how information technologies mediate the negotiation of identity and risk in connection with sexual practice. E-dating itself is a bricolage, or heterogeneous DIY practice of internet-based-communication (IBC). A central aspect of IBC is 'filtering' in and out prospective e-dates based on the images and texts used to depict sexual identities. Interpretations and depictions of personal HIV risk management approaches in IBC are framed by the meanings of different identities, such as the stigma associated with being HIV positive. This paper argues for a sexualities perspective in a theory of network society. Further, HIV prevention in e-dating can potentially be addressed by considering the interplay of the HIV prevention imperatives associated with different HIV serostatus identities. There is a case for encouraging more explicit IBC about risk in e-dating and incorporating the expertise of e-daters in prevention activity. There is also a need to rethink traditional conceptions of risk management in HIV prevention to make space for the risk management bricolage of network society.
