520 _aIn French Guiana and Saint Martin, pregnancies in the context of an HIV infection are more common than elsewhere in France. The phenomenon concerns mostly immigrant women. A survey was conducted through observation and interviews with 19 of these women and 54 professionals involved in their social and medical follow up, in order to understand the social stakes underlying these maternities. Poverty, loneliness, dependence towards their partner, secret upon a stigmatized disease and lack of residence permit place these women in unequal social relations. These social relations take diverse configurations that change during the maternity (from the conception to the follow up of the newborn) while they are marked by the spatial specificities of each of the two territories. As for the health care system, the challenge is the same on both fields: to lessen the consequences, upon women’ and their children’ health, of these unequal social relations.
