Sexual concurrency: driver or passenger in the spread of sexually transmissible infections?

Sexual concurrency: driver or passenger in the spread of sexually transmissible infections? Sexual concurrency is widely held to be a driving force in the spread of HIV and other sexually transmissible infections. Because we lack adequate observational data on sexual concurrency as a relational characteristic of populations, we must rely on mathematical models to assess its importance – a reality that makes some uncomfortable. The present study documents different motivations for multiple sexual partnerships in a number of different sites in the US and offers additional insights into the complexity of sexual concurrency and further underlines the inadequacy of our understanding of concurrency as a collective social practice. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Sexual Health CSIRO Publishing

Abstract

Sexual concurrency is widely held to be a driving force in the spread of HIV and other sexually transmissible infections. Because we lack adequate observational data on sexual concurrency as a relational characteristic of populations, we must rely on mathematical models to assess its importance – a reality that makes some uncomfortable. The present study documents different motivations for multiple sexual partnerships in a number of different sites in the US and offers additional insights into the complexity of sexual concurrency and further underlines the inadequacy of our understanding of concurrency as a collective social practice.
