- (2010, ):
Les couples homosexuels se plaignent de l’existence d’une nouvelle
pratique discriminatoire auprès des hôtels. D’après
les explications, les hôtels commencent à refuser
les couples de même sexe, surtout les hommes. - … (2010, ):
Ah, Madagascar, mon cher et tendre pays, serais-tu par hasard un pays
homo refoulé? parce qu’autant d’homos dans tes prisons, si c’est à
l’image de ton peuple… Ou parques-tu les « déviants dans tes prisons
pour ne pas les voir dans tes rues? - (2007, ):
Les prisons malgaches ne sont pas à l'abri des maladies
sexuellement transmissibles. Vingt détenus par chambre sont
homosexuels à Madagascar.
(2007):
Alliance-led research in Madagascar has identified characteristics,
attitudes and behaviours of vulnerable groups such as sex workers, men
who have sex with men and injecting drug users that impact on HIV
prevention priorities and feed into Madagascar’s national strategic
plan. - (2007):
The island nation of Madagascar, off the coast of Southern Africa, has
so far been spared an HIV/AIDS epidemic, unlike its continental
neighbours, but health officials have warned that the country cannot
afford to be complacent...
(2008, ):
Les efforts nationaux pour la lutte contre le sida auront
dorénavant de nouvelles cibles. «Les homosexuels, les
prostituées et les détenus figurent parmi les groupes
à risques que nous voulons sensibiliser pour l'année
2008», souligne Le Dr Fenosoa Ratsimanetrimanana,
secrétaire exécutif du conseil national de lutte contre
le sida (CNLS).
(2003): Furthermore, no problems concerning or resulting from
one’s sexual orientation were ever made known to me. On the other hand,
like in many third world countries, I feel it is best to be reserved at
first concerning one’s sexual orientation until it is safe to disclose
the information to trusted persons in the community. Another aspect of
being gay in Madagascar was that many of the people, especially the
men, told me that homosexuality didn’t exist in their country, and it
was something that was invented by the vazaha (foreigner)...
:
Research demonstrates that peer education is a powerful method for
behavior change. John Snow International has trained more than 400 peer
educators in Sexually Transmitted Infections prevention. Most are
recruited from high-risk groups including commercial sex workers,
homosexual men, men in uniform, and transport workers. Several groups
include very high-risk sub-populations such as homosexual commercial
sex workers. MOH data shows that condom sales in public clinics
increased where the peer educators work.
(2008, AIDS in the southwest Indian Ocean, ):
La Madagascar: Selon le rapport d’ONUSIDA publié en juin 2006 le
nombre de séropositif était évalué à
49000, fin 2005. D’autres sources sont plus pessimistes et estiment
qu’il y a de 100 à 200 000 personnes séropositives
à Madagascar. On ne dispose que de peu d’informations sur le
mode de contamination. La méthodologie choisie dans les
études épidémiologiques recense surtout les
transmissions hétérosexuelles. Il n’existe pas
d’information sur les contaminations homosexuelles.

Mohammed, 20 ans... e n'ai encore rien dit à ma famille. A cause
du poids de la religion et de la tradition, je sais qu'ils le prendront
mal, alors j'attends de ne plus vivre avec eux avant de faire mon
coming-out. Ce n'est pas toujours facile, car ils me parlent souvent de
me trouver une femme. Mais je sais que j'ai la chance de vivre en
France, et pas aux Comores, et que je pourrai vivre comme je le veux.

Homosexual
acts are illegal. They can be punished by up to five years'
imprisonment and a fine of 50,000 to 1,000,000 Comoran francs ($139 to
$2,778). However, no case of this nature has come before the courts. No
public debate on the issue has been held, and persons engaging in
homosexual activity did not publicly discuss their sexual orientation
due to societal pressure. There are no lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender organizations in the country.
