Abstract

There is considerable evidence for the belief that networks affect the probability that an injecting drug user (IDU) becomes infected with HIV; the speed with which HIV travels through communities of IDUs; and the extent to which IDUs engage in risk behaviors. This paper gives a brief overview of network concepts and methods and discusses how prevention projects and /or user groups might become involved in network research alongside academic and public health researchers.
