The spectacular development of the internet in the past two decades and enormous prospects for its continuing growth are transforming social life. Such unprecedented transformation is affecting not only forms of communication that have always been public, but also those typically more covert, such as interactions in hidden and stigmatised communities. 1 These changes are very relevant to some sexualities, including men who have sex with men (MSM), for whom the internet is increasingly becoming a not only a way to arrange sexual interactions but also the fabric of a community not restricted by geographical boundaries. 2Many MSM relate to others solely through the internet (including mobile applications) and often that is (willingly or not) the only means by which they plan sexual encounters. 3 In that sense, although internet-based strategies are becoming crucial in supporting or delivering many public health interventions, 4 those focused on HIV prevention among MSM are not just using technology to reach people, they are operating through the very social glue of this community.
