ABSTRACT
While sub-Saharan African migrants are recognized as a key population in the HIV epidemics, they are absent from the PrEP delivery system and in particular women. The central argument of this article is that PrEP for Black African migrant women is an ambivalent offer that makes it necessary to understand how migration, gender, sexuality, and origin interact. Bringing together a sociologist and a prevention project manager, this article looks at how Belgian prevention professionals navigate with this ambivalent offer. From semi-directive interviews we explore how PrEP is constructed as a prevention tool for this population. The results show that different causalities are attributed to their absence from PrEP delivery system. This pluralism leads us to argue that there is a real blurring in the definition of this public as a "priority" in terms not only of representations and practices but also of political agenda.
