ABSTRACT
This chapter mentions that a significant number of medical or health geographers across the globe have given their attention to quantitative focus in HIV/AIDS diffusion across the regions, but have overlooked the qualitative approach. In a discussion of local context, it discusses that most of the research on HIV in Bangladesh has been performed by public health scientists and epidemiologists. Very little academic research on HIV has addressed the socio-economic or socio-geographic issues of the marginalized and stigmatized communities who are considered as the ‘risk group’ for HIV infection in Bangladesh. A vast research gap in the geographies of HIV/AIDS in Bangladesh has been elaborated in his chapter.
