Having described a continuous process of redefining the concept, the articles concludes by underlining the necessity of undertaking empirical inquiries dedicated to this notion to render it analyzable in the variety of its implementations.

This communication occurs on the internet, but also includes meetings that are arranged on the forums as well as self help groups organized by the associations. Reaching out to people who share a common experience also helps fight isolation and self stigmatization, allowing patients to come to terms with their disease In social representations, the disease is associated to the pathological sphere 2 , to incapacitation, and to the risk of death 32 , causing the patient to lose self esteem and even become anxious about death The announcement of the chronic disease is experienced as a biographical break.

The hepatitis C treatment stage is a second biographical break and it is too experienced as an ambiguous moment, because it unbalances individuals, their everyday life, the image they make of themselves, their relations with others, their perception of others, but at the same time it brings the hope for a cure, for a better quality of life and for a longer life expectancy. Thus, coming out of this parenthesis people need to reestablish their identity as healthy individuals, and sometimes as social beings that work, have social relations, sexual lives, etc.

They must assimilate new identity features that give coherence to their self representations, including the experience of the disease.

The cure thus represents still another biographical break, after the one that comes with the announcement of the disease and the one that occurs when treatment commences. It is a difficult moment, and one which may also cause feelings of guilt; the guilt for having succeeded in the cure while others fails.

People with hepatitis C rarely get to speak for themselves about their experiences of living with a chronic, potentially terminal and stigmatized disease The forums on the internet are a space for that, and are described by my informants as an important part of the treatment which permitted them the cure.
