View help for Summary
Data was collected from the Baidu HIV-related bar on August 29, 2017 and from the TB-related bar
on August 30, 2017 respectively. Based on those dates, the 2,500 most recent
posts and replies were selected for each bar. The following data were collected
for each post: web address, time of posting, username, title, content, and
number of comments. After deleting duplicate posts (same contents that were
posted by the same user on the same day), we obtained 2,443 HIV-related posts
and 2,470 TB-related posts. Although most posts were from 2017 (2,010/2,443 for
the HIV-related bar and 2,040/2,470 for the TB-related bar), we noticed that 254
posts had been created between 2005 and 2014 (103 for the HIV-related bar and 151
for the TB-related bar). Thus, to better understand PLWHA’s habits and needs
during the 3 most recent years, we omitted the posts from 2005–2014 and
ultimately evaluated 2,430 posts from the HIV-related bar and 2,319 posts from
the TB-related bar.
