Female Sex Workers(FSWs)characterized as mobile,hidden,and at high risk of HIV infection could act as an important bridge to spread HIV from the high-risk population to the general population.Due to all levels of societal factors,the bridging effect may play an amplifier role in HIV transmission.It is critical and difficult to change HIV highrisk sexual behaviors of FSWs,especially when they work in a hidden and scattered way.This article reviewed the development of the social network analysis method and its application in analyzing sexual behaviors and influencing factors among FSWs in China and worldwide.From the constructional and functional features perspectives,we analyzed the association between the social network and HIV high-risk sexual behaviors among FSW to assist in developing strategies of further prevention and reduction of HIV transmission in FSWs.
