The monetization of social relations, through economic-sexual exchange poses a problem of health risks in the face of the spread of AIDS. These economic-sexual practices which seem to challenge the AIDS pandemic motivated this study, to understand the determinants. Part of a qualitative approach, this study mobilizes techniques such as documentary research, direct observation and individual interviews. The related tools are, among others, the reading grid, the observation grid and the interview guides. These made it possible to realize that the factors which determine economic-sexual exchange in the face of the risks of AIDS, relate to poverty, parental influence, environmental influence and imitation.
