对生活在横贯非洲高速公路上的一个贸易城镇的高风险男性和女性性行为的纵向研究表明，该城镇内存在着不同的性网络。 48名妓女每天记录了6个月的所有性接触，包括每个嫖客的职业、居住地点以及支付的价格。记录了 4573 名女性性接触的详细信息。确定了三类女性：(1) 20 名“高级”女性，每次接触的平均价格超过 4 美元。他们的大多数客户来自乌干达的大城市地区 (55%) 或邻国 (32%)-70% 是卡车司机或其同伴； (2) 18 名“低层”妇女，每次接触平均收费 0.4 美元，主要受到镇上居民男性 (71%) 的光顾，而这些男性是非熟练临时工 (58%)； (3) 10名女性在价格和客户居住地方面属于中间类别。廉价酒吧招募了 38 名男性潜在客户，其中一些女性在这些酒吧工作。他们提供了日常性接触的类似细节。所有人都是该镇居民，其中 22 人从事的职业被归类为非技术性职业。在男性记录的 1621 次性接触中，25% 是与新伴侣发生的。
A longitudinal study of the sexual behaviour of high-risk men and women living in a trading town on the trans-Africa highway showed that distinct sexual networks operated within the town. Forty-eight prostitutes kept daily records for 6 months of all their sexual contacts including the occupation and place of residence of each client and the price paid. Details of 4573 sexual contacts of the women were recorded. Three classes of women were identified: (1) 20 'high-class' women who charged a mean price of over US$ 4/- per contact. The majority of their clients were from large urban areas of Uganda (55%) or neighbouring countries (32%)-70% were truck-drivers or their mates; (2) 18 'low-class' women, charging an average of US$ 0.4 per contact, who were patronized predominantly by men resident in the town (71%) who were unskilled casual workers (58%); (3) 10 women fell into an intermediate category in terms of price and the residence of their clients. Thirty-eight male potential clients were recruited in low-cost bars where some of the women worked. They provided similar details of their daily sexual contacts. All were resident in the town and 22 had occupations which were classified as unskilled. Of the 1621 sexual contacts recorded by the men 25% were with new partners.
