  • How are sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics (Sogiesc) addressed in UN conventions, treaty bodies, and decisions

    Open AccessMathieu Seppey, Yulia Bodryzlova et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2025

    Background Sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sexual characteristics (SOGIESC) concepts are not mentioned in human rights treaties but are increasingly present in the activity of UN treaty bodies, resulting for instance in decisions, general comments and recommendations, concluding observations. Scholars have developed an increasing interest for this inclusion of SOGIESC in international law, more specifically human right…

  • Normalizing Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities and Expressions, and Sex Characteristics at the Global Level, from a Canadian Perspective

    Mathieu Seppey, Garance Girard et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2025References: 16

    By developing its first Feminist International Assistance policy, Canada has positioned itself as an international feminist and diverse SOGIESC rights leader. However, the scarcity of references to sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) has raised questions on how these concepts were included in such a policy. This case study's objective is to better understand how Canadian policies play a role i…

    En juin 2016, un incendie détruit la majeure partie de l’église paroissiale de Trémel (Côtes-d’Armor), entraînant une chaîne de réactions et de solidarités au sein de la communauté des habitants du petit village breton et même bien au-delà.

Une enquête auprès des personnes touchées par cette catastrophe, de près o…

  • Queering Humanitarian Practices through the Inclusion of Sogiesc Concepts

    Open AccessMathieu Seppey, Michaël Arnaud et al.ARTICLEJournal of Humanitarian Affairs2024

    Diverse SOGIESC issues (sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics) are seldom discussed in humanitarian work but are emerging as an important gap to fill in both knowledge and practice. This review’s objective is to provide a clearer picture of how SOGIESC issues are included in humanitarian practices. A socio-ecological approach is used to identify the different settings in which these issues are present and…

  • Highly precarious general and sexual health conditions of young domestic servants

    Open AccessMarion Fiorentino, Abdouramane Coulibaly et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Most domestic servants (DS) in Mali are very young female migrants living in precarious conditions. We aimed to understand their living and working conditions in relation to their general and sexual health. Seven focus groups (53 participants) were conducted by the DS community-based organization ADDAD. Narratives were thematically analyzed using an inductive method. The dominant emerging theme was DS' strong dependence on their employers. Employ…

    EPOSIM is a community-based participatory research study which used the Photovoice method with people who inject drugs (PWID) ahead of a possible opening of a drug consumption room (DCR) in Marseille, France. It aimed to identify the strategies used by PWID when injecting, and the risks they take when they have no safe private space to inject in the area they live in. A total of 7 PWID participated in the full study process. The 189 photographs t…

  • Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Men Who Have Sex With Men That Practice Chemsex in France

    Open AccessP Roux, Cécile Donadille et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Men s Health2022

    Chemsex—the use of drugs in a sexual context—has been associated with more at-risk sexual practices and substance-related complications in men who have sex with men (MSM). To date, no study has focused on the impact of France’s first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related lockdown on the mental health and drug/alcohol use of MSM who practice chemsex. We implemented a web-based survey of 9,488 MSM living in France in June 2020 (after the coun…

  • Le temps long des épidémies

    Anne Rasmussen, Garance Girard et al.ARTICLEMouvements2021Cited by: 1

    Les épidémies s'inscrivent dans un imaginaire ancien du fléau et de l'événement catastrophique qui vient bouleverser les sociétés appelant en réponse des mesures drastiques de la part des sociétés et des États. Comme nous le montre Anne Rasmussen, l'épidémie de Covid-19 ne fait pas exception. Cependant, son caractère global intégrant intimement les dimensions sanitaires, sociales, politiques et économiques lui donne une dimension singulière. Elle…

  • Undetectable

    Open AccessGarance Girard, Gabriel GirardARTICLEMedicine Anthropology Theory2020

    In recent years, the 'end of AIDS' has been at the top of the international scientific and political agenda. At the same time, attention to the dark years of the epidemic is increasing, revealing a form of nostalgia for a time of collective mobilization. But what is to be said of the current state of the disease, between the nostalgia for a tragic past and the hope of a world without AIDS? This think piece was prompted by the increasing erasure o…

  • Défaire et refaire un groupe à risque. Objectivation et prévention du sida chez les homosexuels masculins à l'ère des antirétroviraux

    Open AccessMathieu Trachman, Maud Gelly et al.ARTICLEPopulation2019Cited by: 3References: 20

    Au cours des années 1990, la lutte contre le VIH est devenue une cause nationale dont les actions de prévention s'adressent à l'ensemble de la population afin de prévenir toute stigmatisation. Dans les années 2000, la reconnaissance de l'existence de « groupes à risque » n'a plus posé problème et a déterminé des actions plus ciblées. Constatant la recrudescence des prises de risques, les acteurs de la prévention se sont donnés les moyens de saisi…

  • Is HIV prevention creating new biosocialities among gay men? Treatment as prevention and pre-exposure prophylaxis in Canada

    Open AccessGarance Girard, Sonia Patten et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2019Cited by: 10References: 16

    The advancements of 'treatment as prevention' (TasP), 'undetectable viral load' (UVL) and 'pre-exposure prophylaxis' (PrEP) are redefining HIV prevention standards. Relying on the concept of biosociality, this article explores how gay men rally around, debate, and sometimes disagree about these emerging HIV prevention technologies. This article is based on data from the Resonance Project, a Canadian community-based research project. Twelve focus …

  • La parenthèse désenchantée

    Rémi Baille, Carole Desbarats et al.ARTICLEEsprit2017

    Cette enquête interroge les politiques contemporaines de la sexualité autour de l'épidémie du Vih , les représentations populaires, artistiques ou pornographiques, l'offensive masculiniste, le droit à l'indifférence des homosexuels, la loi contre le système prostitutionnel et les violences sexuelles en temps de guerre

  • HIV risk and sense of community

    Garance Girard, Gabriel GirardARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2016

    This paper analyses the use of the concept of 'barebacking' as a risk category in the discourses of French gay men. It discusses how the rise and spread of the term barebacking contributes to reframing gay men's personal experiences of HIV prevention and their sense of belonging (or a lack thereof) to a gay community. The study is based on 30 qualitative interviews with French gay men conducted between 2005 and 2008. An import from the USA, the t…

    En s'appuyant sur une enquête qualitative auprès d'hommes gais vivant avec le VIH en France, cet article vise à éclairer les contextes sociaux de la réflexivité préventive. Alors que l'épidémie est caractérisée comme « hors de contrôle » par la santé publique, on s'intéresse ici à la manière donc des homosexuels séropositifs composent avec les risques sanitaires, sociaux et moraux liés au VIH/sida à l'ère des traitements antirétroviraux.

  • On-Demand Preexposure Prophylaxis in Men at High Risk for HIV-1 Infection

    Jean‐michel Molina, Jean-Michel Molina et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2015

    BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral preexposure prophylaxis has been shown to reduce the risk of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in some studies, but conflicting results have been reported among studies, probably due to challenges of adherence to a daily regimen. METHODS: We conducted a double-blind, randomized trial of antiretroviral therapy for preexposure HIV-1 prophylaxis among men who have unprotected anal sex with men. Particip…

  • Barebacking in France

    Open AccessDaniela Rojas Castro, Garance Girard et al.ARTICLESexualities2015

    Research on bareback behaviours and identities constitutes a wide field of academic work. Literature on this issue has focused on the associated psycho-sociological factors, on the evolution of gay sociabilities and on the discursive and socio-political uses of bareback sex. But few of these studies have explored local appropriation of the terms in non-English-speaking contexts. The present article aims to provide an empirical illustration of thi…
