摘要: Research suggests that structural properties of drug users’ social networks can have substantial effects on HIV risk. The purpose this study was to investigate if the Appalachian risk could lend insight into potential for transmission in population. Data from 503 users recruited through respondent-driven sampling were used construct a sociometric network. Network ties represented relationships which partners had engaged unprotected sex and/or shared injection equipment. Compared 1,000 randomly generated networks, observed network found larger main component and exhibit more cohesiveness centralization than would be expected at random. Thus, structure sample has many characteristics shown facilitative transmission. This underscores importance primary prevention population prompts further investigation epidemiology region.
