| Descripción: | This paper examines the complex nexuses that exist between sociological enterprise and knowledge of various intricacies that surround HIV/AIDS pandemic in Nigerian societies, more importantly on how to have deep and clearer understanding of those factors that are responsible for hyper-geometric rate of HIV transmission in the country. Three distinct sociological theories were adopted in the paper and it was demonstrated that HIV/AIDS pandemic is not only a medical problem but also it is a socio-cultural, economic and developmental problem in Nigeria. On the basis of this revelation, it has been recommended that government at different levels, policy makers, programme designers and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) working on how to stem the spread of HIV/AIDS pandemic in Nigeria should work within the socio-cultural, economic and development context of the country. This is one major way on how to achieve success in battle against HIV/AIDS pandemic in the country. Keywords: Sociology, Socio-cultural, Economics, Development, Sexuality, HIV/AIDS, Nigeria. |
