Abstract
This collective work challenges the involvement of healthy individuals in HIV prevention clinical trials through the lens of social sciences. What makes the recruitment of healthy individuals for HIV prevention clinical trials possible? What are the social logics and mediations that contribute to the understanding between a social actor and an expert investigator? Here are the questions addressed in the various chapters, from a diachronic and multidisciplinary perspective in social sciences.
