Abstract

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a multifaceted challenge with far-reaching implications for human health. Among its numerous impacts, climate change is now understood to play a significant role in shaping the dynamics of HIV transmission. This review article synthesizes existing literature to elucidate the complex interplay between climate change and HIV transmission dynamics. The paper explores how environmental changes influence factors such as vector behavior, socio-economic vulnerabilities, migration patterns, and healthcare infrastructure, ultimately impacting HIV spread. Furthermore, the paper discusses potential adaptation strategies and policy implications to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on HIV transmission. By comprehensively understanding these interactions, we can develop more effective interventions to address both climate change and HIV/AIDS.
