The purpose of this paper is to propose a new conceptual framework to help inform thinking about the processes of S&D,1 about the way these processes relate to HIV/AIDS, and about potential interventions to address S&D and minimize their impact. To do this, the paper: ? Analyzes the sources of S&D, the ways in which HIV/AIDS-related S&D manifests itself, and the contexts in which HIV/AIDS-related S&D take place. ? Highlights the limitations of current thinking and argues that S&D need to be understood as social rather than individual processes. Identifies an agenda for research and intervention.
