sub-Saharan Africa: rich in conjecture, poor in data (reply to letter
by Boily
et al.). International
Journal of STD & AIDS, 15, 63-65.
Boily and colleagues criticized our
(Brewer et al., 2003, Int. J. STD & AIDS) interpretations of the
lack of population-level correlation between sexual risk behavior and
HIV prevalence and our view of the structure of sexual networks in
Africa. In this letter, we highlight their conjectures, offer
additional empirical evidence undermining the sexual transmission
hypothesis, and specify the research designs necessary for adequate
evaluation of different modes of HIV transmission.
