  ABSTRACT: This review synthesizes the conceptual foundations, measurement tools, and current research status of online health information-seeking behavior (OHISB). It systematically examines the influencing factors of OHISB among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) from sociodemographic, cognitive, psychological, disease-related, and social perspectives. Furthermore, it proposes strategies and recommendations to enhance OHISB in this population, including addressing their specific health information needs, improving eHealth literacy, and fostering a safer and more reliable online environment. The findings aim to provide a theoretical basis for developing targeted interventions to support effective online health information seeking among PLWHA.
