Abstract Background While there has recently been significant medical advance in understanding and treating HIV limitations in understanding the complex social dimensions of HIV AIDS epidemics continue to restrict a host of prevention and development efforts from community through to international levels. These gaps are rooted as much in limited conceptual development as they are in a lack of empirical research. Methods In this conceptual article the authors compare and contrast the evolution of climate change and AIDS research. They demonstrate how scholarship and response in these two seemingly disparate areas share certain important similarities such as the globalization of discourses and associated masking of uneven vulnerabilities the tendency toward techno-fixes and the polarization of debates within these fields. They also examine key divergences .
