The article cites a research study, which states that exploring sexual networks yields insights into sexually transmitted infections. According to a recent review published in the "Journal of Infectious Diseases," because pathogens spread only within the unique context of a sexual union between people when one person is infectious, the other is susceptible to new infection, and condoms are not used to prevent transmission, the epidemiological study of sexually transmitted infections is particularly challenging. The authors concluded that this article provides a brief background on the design and assessments of studies of social networks.

This article cites a study which says that exploring sexual networks yields insights into sexually transmitted infections. Because pathogens spread only within the unique context of a sexual union between people when one person is infectious, the other is susceptible to new infection, and condoms are not used to prevent transmission, the epidemiological study of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is particularly challenging. The research was conducted by I.A. Doherty and colleagues. Doherty and colleagues published their study in the "Journal of Infectious Diseases."

The article presents information on a study which states that exploring sexual networks yields insights into sexually transmitted infections (STIs). According to the recent review published in the "Journal of Infectious Diseases," because pathogens spread only within the unique context of a sexual union between people when one person is infectious, the other is susceptible to new infection, and condoms are not used to prevent transmission, the epidemiological study of STIs is particularly challenging. Social network analysis entails the study of ties among people and how the structure and quality of such ties affect individuals and overall group dynamics. The study was conducted by researcher I.A. Doherty and colleagues and published in the "Journal of Infectious Diseases."
