Introduction: Most of the data addressing LGBT populations are adressing gay men's health and focuses on the heterosexual/homosexual alterity without considering their practices nor their trajectories.

Purpose Of Research: In this article, we are looking into psychoactive substances use among lesbian and bisexual women. Based on an analysis of the Lesbian and Gay Press Survey (INVS, 2011), this paper aims to analyze the substance use of these populations, while discussing the categories used to describe them.

Despite advances in recent decades, health inequalities faced by sexual, gender and gendered minorities remain poorly recognized. Yet the barriers to accessing prevention and care encountered by these populations are widely documented in international literature. The health of LGBTI+ people is still largely understood and structured as a sexual health issue related to sexually transmitted infections, leaving other crucial issues in the background.

Investigating health services for sexual and gender minorities in France: a qualitative study protocol.

Introduction: Discrimination and structural violence experienced by sexual and gender minorities are the source of social inequalities in health. The last decade has been marked by major developments in the provision of sexual health services for these minorities in France. This paper presents the research protocol of the Services for Minorities-Lesbian Gays Bisexuals Transgender Intersex+ (SeSAM-LGBTI+) study, which aims to document the health, social and professional challenges in the organisation of current health services for sexual and gender minorities in France.

Union break-up after HIV diagnosis among sub-Saharan African migrants in France: disclosing HIV status is linked with staying in union.

Sub-Saharan African migrants living in France are particularly affected by HIV. Due to the fear of sexual transmission of the virus, those in a relationship could experience a union break-up after an HIV diagnosis. Based on data from the time-event ANRS-Parcours survey that was conducted among a representative sample of sub-Saharan migrants living with HIV (France, 2012-2013), we studied union break-ups after HIV diagnosis among people who were in a relationship at the time of their diagnosis.

Multiple discriminations experienced by people living with HIV in France: results from the ANRS-Vespa2 study.

Since the advent of AIDS, discrimination has remained at the core of the experience of people living with HIV (PLHIV). PLHIV who belong to minority groups are exposed to discrimination not only on the grounds of their HIV infection but also because of rejecting attitudes towards drug users, homosexuals and black people. This article aimed to measure the frequency of discrimination and assess its correlates among PLHIV in France.

'Migrants from over there' or 'racial minority here'? Sexual networks and prevention practices among sub-Saharan African migrants in France.

Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa bear a disproportionate burden of HIV infection in Europe, with an increasing proportion of them acquiring HIV after migration. This transformation in the epidemic pattern has raised concerns about the sexual mixing and preventive behaviours of migrants. This paper aims at exploring how racial boundaries shape sexual networks and structure prevention practices among migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.

Class, gender and culture in the experience of menopause. A comparative survey in Tunisia and France.

The experience of menopause can vary strongly from one society to another: frequency of hot flushes, other somatic and psychological symptoms, and changes in family and social relations. Several studies have shown that country of residence, country of birth, ethnicity, and social class all play roles in these variations. But few comparative anthropological studies have analysed the social processes that construct the experience of menopause or considered menopausal women's social and financial autonomy.
