description Proceeding from a localized ethnography, and building on observations, interviews and an analysis of sociodemographic data to describe mobile HIV testing and its social context in a poor neighborhood of the large industrial port city of Pointe Noire, this article offers an analysis of a strategy generally seen as fundamental for increasing the number of persons aware of their serological status. This mobile operation gives access to testing to active men who do not use health facilities and to women who are outside the frame of antenatal testing. However, the counselling seems unsuited and the support inadequate to take charge of those discovering their seropositivity. Finally, the analysis points out the limits of testing in non-private settings where the expression of HIV stigma is common, as well as the social barriers which discourage access to women living with a partner.
