风险网络可以传播艾滋病毒或其他感染;社交网络可以传播社会影响，从而有助于形成规范和行为。这篇初步的理论性论文首先回顾了网络概念，然后介绍了来自纽约一项网络研究的数据，该研究旨在研究注射吸毒者与其他吸毒者和非吸毒者、男男性行为者、女女性行为者、高危社区中的其他男性和其他女性之间的性联系和注射联系模式，以及艾滋病毒的分布、群体性活动中的性行为、和健康干预行为。然后讨论了风险网络的微观结构如何影响艾滋病毒的流行和城市对流行病的脆弱性;什么样的社交及其他力量（如“大事件”，如战争或生态灾难）可能会塑造网络及其相关的规范，intraventions，实践和行为;以及网络理论和研究如何已经并可能继续有助于制定针对艾滋病毒流行病的干预措施。
Risk networks can transmit HIV or other infections; social networks can transmit social influence and thus help shape norms and behaviors. This primarily-theoretical paper starts with a review of network concepts, and then presents data from a New York network study to study patterns of sexual and injection linkages among IDUs and other drug users and nonusers, men who have sex with men, women who have sex with women, other men and other women in a high-risk community and the distribution of HIV, sex at group sex events, and health intravention behaviors in this network. It then discusses how risk network microstructures might influence HIV epidemics and urban vulnerability to epidemics; what social and other forces (such as "Big Events" like wars or ecological disasters) might shape networks and their associated norms, intraventions, practices and behaviors; and how network theory and research have and may continue to contribute to developing interventions against HIV epidemics.
