The implied age-infection profile closely mimics that in South Africa, and the suggested behavior matches that reported...

This network has a small HIV epidemic potential but is compatible with the transmission of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as syphilis, which are less susceptible to structural breaks in transmission of infection. Our results suggest...

However, refusal is most common in the first stratum with the lowest HIV infection rate. The section A Detailed Look at Nonparticipants explores...
