个人感染或传播性传播疾病或艾滋病毒的风险既受个人风险因素的影响，也受个人在性网络中所处位置的影响。因此，预防工作必须考虑对个人和网络结构进行干预。帮助同性恋和双性恋男性对他们的伴侣做出更明智的选择，以及分散网络以减少高危核心群体成员和低风险群体成员之间危险相遇的可能性，是减少这一人群中传播的两种策略。网络层面的干预特别适用于商业性行为场所和互联网网站，在这些地方，男同性恋者和双性恋者会遇到新的性伴侣。
An individual's risk of acquiring or transmitting a sexually transmitted disease or HIV is affected both by individual risk factors and by one's location within a sexual network. Therefore, prevention efforts must consider intervening with both individuals and with network conformations. Helping gay and bisexual men make more informed choices about their partners and fragmenting networks to reduce the likelihood of risky encounters between high-risk core group members and those at lower risk are two strategies for reducing transmission in this population. Network-level interventions are particularly well suited for places such as commercial sex venues and Internet sites where gay and bisexual men meet new sexual partners.
