摘要
Transmission network analysis is a crucial evaluation tool aiming to explore the characteristics of the human immunodeficiency virus epidemic,develop evidence-based prevention strategies,and contribute to various areas of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome prevention and control.Over recent decades,transmission networks have made tremendous strides in terms of modes,methods,applications,and various other aspects.Transmission network methods,including social,sexual,and molecular transmission networks,have played a pivotal role.Each transmission network research method has its advantages,as well as its limitations.In this study,we established a systematic review of these aforementioned transmission networks with respect to their definitions,applications,limitations,recent progress,and synthetic applications.
