Recruit FSW who work in indoor venues, and vice-versa, with the networks not being independent. However, attention should be paid to the existence of homophily, especially concerning the tendency of participants from indoor venues to recruit peers from the same group. Firstly, it indicates the need to choose seeds diversified by type of workplace. Secondly, it emphasizes the need to incorporate th

Kplace was not reached, probably resulting in underestimation of HIV prevalence. This limitation does not apply to this study, as the sample was sufficient to achieve Markov equilibrium and the homophily effect did not affect the estimated HIV prevalence. The estimate was very close to what had been found previously,28 even using the procedure of post-stratification according to workplace. To conc

Fected CD4+ resting T cells, constitutes the HAART-persistent latent reservoir. Most cells in this silent reservoir have long half lives [6, 7] and are hidden from immune surveillance which permits them to remain as a stable source for de novo viral production upon reactivation. One strategy for eradication of this reservoir rests upon the premise that cellular activation with concomitant upregula
