HIV Response Interventions that Integrate HIV Molecular Cluster and Social Network Analysis: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Due to improved efficiency and reduced cost of viral sequencing, molecular cluster analysis can be feasibly utilized alongside existing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention strategies. The goal of this paper is to elucidate how HIV molecular cluster and social network analyses are being integrated to implement HIV response interventions.
