Résumé :

This paper broaches the difficulties met in the medico-psycho-social care of the families affected with the human immunodeficiency virus, in which the parents and at least one of the children are infected or ill. The HIV infection, and more specifically the impact of the secret it implies, disturbs the intra-familial relationships, complicates the setting of the socio-familial links and shuts the children in an indefinable loneliness. This context has an impact on the psychological and hospital treating procedures: the main vectors and pitfalls are specified for each one of them. Finally, the 'psy' function within the team is broached.
