    Dans le cas de la transmission de la mère à l’enfant du VIH, l’un des principaux enjeux concerne le dévoilement du diagnostic aux jeunes infectés (Champion et al., 1999; Murphy et al., 2002; Wiener et al., 2007), qui pourrait être vécu comme un point de bifurcation biographique. L’objectif est d’explorer l’expérience du dévoilement du diagnostic du point de vue d’adolescents vivant avec le VIH depuis la naissance. Vingt-neuf jeunes (10-18 ans) VI…

This study, which employs a mixed-method embedded strategy (qualitative supported by quantitative), describes the perspectives of youth li…
