Social networks and infectious disease
HIV Infection in an Urban Social Network
The completion of the second year of the Colorado Springs Study provided new insights into the location of HIV infection in a large urban social network. About 250 persons were interviewed by the end of the second year and provided information on over 3500 reported social relationships. Roughly 2000 persons were found to be part of a core connected region which included six individuals confirmed HIV positive. The density of social ties in this co…
Epidemiologic differences between chlamydia and gonorrhea
To assess the prevalence, demographics, and transmission patterns of genital chlamydia infection, we screened 3,078 patients, and compared identified cases (N = 511) to gonorrhea cases (N = 291) diagnosed in the same setting. Chlamydia cases were younger and more likely to be White than their gonorrhea counterparts. Chlamydia cases were distributed diffusely; geographic overlap between the two diseases was only about 40 percent. Gonococcal coinfe…
Estimating the prevalence and career longevity of prostitute women
Reliable empiric estimates of the prevalence and career longevity of prostitute women in the United States are not currently available. We analyze data from our continuous observation of such women in Colorado Springs, during nearly two decades, starting in 1970. Of the 1,022 prostitute women observed, 52.5% are classified as evanescent, 12.1% as short‐term, and 35.3% as long‐term residents. Comparison with police prostitution records suggests th…
Partner notification in the control of human immunodeficiency virus infection
Partner notification should be standard public health practice in the control of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. A universal partner notification program for the United States is affordable, operationally manageable, and can effectively reach high-risk persons. Such a focused approach personalizes the epidemic and probably enhances the efficacy of risk reduction messages. Confidentiality protections are attainable. Voluntary partner…
