abstract

Guadeloupe (FrenchWest Indies) is a part of French departments which has the largest number of persons living with HIV/AIDS. A large part of them consists of foreign women, mainly native of Haiti. This article is based on an anthropological study conducted in 2009 among 32 professionals of health, social and associative sectors taking care of persons living with HIV in Guadeloupe, and among 10 infected women, 6 of whom are native of Haiti. Semi-directive and individual qualitative interviews were conducted with each of these persons. During their course of illness and migration, many women experienced one or several pregnancies. The analysis of their discourses and trajectories underlines the articulation of the multiple stakes - medical, social, political, emotional stakes - with which they are confronted.
