In the late 1970s, the AIDS pandemic, then an unknown disease, began to wreak havoc around the world. Homosexuals were immediately identified as one of several "risk groups. Ten years later, in the late 1980s, a new sexual practice developed in the United States between HIV-positive individuals from the gay community. Known as "bareback", it was a way of claiming and assuming risky sexual relations. In this work, we will restrict ourselves to a psychosociological analysis of a virtual bareback dating site. We will thus delimit three axes of interest: a first subjective, a second groupal and a third socio-historical. The aim is to understand what is the specific mode of link between the members of the studied site.
