社会网络理论及其在艾滋病防治领域的应用

Theory of social network and its application in HIV control

社会网络是社会行动者及其间的关系共同构成的结构模式,而艾滋病病毒正是遵循一种结构化的、非随机的模式传播。利用社会网络理论及其分析方法来研究艾滋病病毒传播及其影响因素,将对全面理解艾滋病流行的模式、探索影响流行的因素以及利用高危人群形成的网络结构特点开展艾滋病预防干预工作有指导意义。

Social network is a type of structure of social actors by their relations.Human immunodeficiency virus（HIV）transmits among population followed a type of structural and non-random mode,so we use social network concept and socio-metric analysis to conduct HIV related research that may enhance the understanding and prediction of HIV epidemic patterns and intervention measures.
