Abstract
The issue of immigration in the French politics of AIDS Eversince the beginning of the epidemics, the links between AIDS and immigration has been surrounded with an embarrassed silence from French public health authorities. The production of epidemiological statistics carries the signs of it, mixing the use of numerous tactics of avoidance and the overdetermination by the suspected mode of transmission. This untold finds its justification both in the potential danger of stigmatization of categories of foreigners and in the refusal to substantialise ethnie origins as an explanatory factor. Nevertheless, it shows the difficulties to think the issue of immigration from a scientific and political perspective in order to surpass présent problems which have consequences not only for knowledge, but also for action.
