This article presents the results of a qualitative research on practices of dispensing antiretroviral medication concerning requests for greater than one month, for departure abroad. In spite of a strict regulation, a cartography shows a heterogeneity of its application leading to a great diversity of dispensing practices. This qualitative research with 22 pharmacies across the territory reveals relational and regulatory logics that contribute to this non-uniformity of practices. The concepts of embarrassment, professional commitment, regulatory concerns and personal relationships with patients largely explain the accommodations and crafts observed in this type of ARV dispensing request.
