To live with the HIV
Summarized of the intervention of S. NICOLAS, symposium of the 23/11/1999 to the convention center of Angers
Whatever is the way of which one learns about his/her/its séropositivité, the shock is always big. To it is added the refusal well often to unveil this serological statute to his/her/its setting, because " avouer " his/her/its contamination to others leads a value judgement and a questionnement on the practices that brought this virus inside the organism.
	Même when it is about an AES (Accident of exhibition to Blood), of a contamination by transfusion, by his/her/its spouse, etc.., the setting often appears suspicious of practices sexual " hors normes ", or of addiction. The anguish of abandonment is itself daylight then because the person infected by the virus is generally rejected by his/her/its setting (in a conscious way or no), setting that fears himself to be infected, even though he knows the fashions of contamination.
	Le topic also isolates itself of himself, to tempt to conceal the guilt that it has to be contaminated. Infected by the HIV, the topic doesn't have an intimacy anymore with the other, the sexual practices don't get used anymore to two, it is necessary to take in account the virus and the condom, what excluded it of a sexuality in dyade ,; impulse of life and impulse of death are " confondues " then.
	Un problem identitaire often transplants itself on the HIV, causing some questioning on the exclusion. Is the exclusion the result of the VIH ? Done a topic exclude of the society being contaminated in will meet it excluded more, or will it allow him it a certain " intégration ", " grâce à " an identity of malade ?
	Nous will try to see, in this intervention, what the HIV can lead at the individual, and if it is necessary for us to speak of exclusion for a seropositive person.
