“…Insofar as we are aware, almost no research has been done on this issue at the level of the community, city or metropolitan area. Clearly, this is another important area for research-that is, to determine the causes of, Impacts of ''Big events'' on Networks and thence on HIV As we and others have previously argued (Aral, 2002;Friedman et al, in press;Friedman & Reid, 2002;Hankins, Friedman, Zafar, & Strathdee, 2002), ''big events'' like wars, sociopolitical transitions, economic collapses, or ecological disasters can disrupt both social networks and risk networks, as well as the normative influence and the practical assistance that they can provide. These disruptions, in turn, can lead to outbreaks of HIV and other diseases.…”

Abstract 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.

“…The impact of HIV infection can be explained not only by differences in sexual behaviour and the frequency and extent of testing, but also biologically via altered immune function. Its impact can also be explained epidemiologically via differences in the composition and range of sexual networks (Aral, 2002). …”

In 2012, newly reported human immunodeficiency virus diagnoses in the European Union /European Economic Area remained stable at around 30,000 cases. Since 2003, cases in men who have sex with men (MSM) aged 20 to 29 years-old doubled, while the proportion of late presenters in this group remained stable. Persistent declines occurred among older MSM age groups, particularly that between 30 and 39 years-old. Interventions targeting younger MSM are needed to prevent a resurgence of the epidemic in Europe.

“…Para trans la prevalencia del vih fluctúa de 10% a 19%, dependiendo de la ciudad [6]. Se ha planteado que elevadas tasas de vih en poblaciones con prácticas de riesgo están relacionadas en gran medida a la vulnerabilidad de género, además de otras condiciones sociales como pobreza, baja cohesión social, y altos niveles de discriminación [7][8][9][10]. Sin embargo, en nuestro contexto existe la necesidad de conocer mejor las características sociodemográficas, de conocimientos, antecedentes y comportamientos sexuales en personas recién diagnosticadas, que permitan direccionar estrategias para el tamizaje y la educación para la prevención del vih y otras Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual (its) con poblaciones en contexto de vulnerabilidad para la infección por vih en la ciudad de Cali-Colombia de 2012 a 2015.…”
