Activity Title	Variations in sexual network connectivity may explain dramatic variations in sexually transmitted infection prevalence between populations and over time: a four-country analysis
Details	The reasons underpinning the dramatic variations in sexually transmitted infection (STI) incidence between different populations are incompletely understood. These insights provided the motivation for the current paper where we aimed to conduct a more systematic analysis of the association between network connectivity and STI prevalence in national subpopulations. We expanded the previously conducted analyses of this association in four ways. Firstly, we assessed this association in four countries: two high income countries (the United Kingdom [UK] and [USA]) where STIs are predominantly concentrated in MSM and certain ethnic groups and two low/middle income countries that have been affected by generalized HIV epidemics (Kenya and South Africa) but where certain ethnic groups have largely escaped this epidemic. Secondly, in each country we assess this association at the levels of both ethnic groups and MSM versus heterosexuals. Thirdly, we assess this association in five STIs (chlamydi...
