  abstract = {{O}bjective: {H}epatitis {B}, a major public health problem in {A}frica and among {S}ub-{S}aharan populations living in {F}rance, remains poorly characterized and insufficiently managed. {T}wo social sciences studies in {A}bidjan ({C}ote d'{I}voire) and {I}le-de-{F}rance investigated representations of hepatitis {B} and attitudes towards medical care among chronic hepatitis {B} carriers. {C}omparison of the two studies raises the question of the role of different settings of access to care in the relationship towards disease and medical care. {M}ethods: {I}n {A}bidjan, the study was conducted with 14 patients at the {U}niversity {H}ospital and the blood donor monitoring medical centre ({C}entre medical de suivi des donneurs de sang). {I}n {I}le-de-{F}rance, it was conducted among 33 chronic carriers in two hospital departments. {T}he method was qualitative, using semi-structured interviews and consultation observations. {R}esults: {T}he comparison showed similarities and differences. {S}imilarities exclusively concerned representations of hepatitis {B}, ignorance of the disease, and the negatively-charged association with {HIV}, linked in particular to the lack of collective mobilization on issues relating to hepatitis {B} in {A}frica and {F}rance. {D}ifferences concerned patients' attitudes towards medical follow-up and screening of close relatives, which are determined by the radically different funding conditions between the two sites. {G}iven the lack of universal health insurance in {I}vory {C}oast, patients with chronic hepatitis {B} experience difficulties of access to medical care. {C}onclusion: {T}hese studies emphasize the need for awareness campaigns on hepatitis {B} and information about conditions of management of chronic hepatitis {B} carriers in {S}ub-{S}aharan {A}frica.},
