AB The pattern of disease within populations depends on the complex
interaction between individuals. For example, the linking of individuals
to form social and sexual networks affects disease incidence and
prevalence. As described by Potterat, the formation of these networks
results in various patterns of disease spread. However, phenomena that
occur among individuals do not necessarily mirror those observed in
groups or populations. The interactions that characterize the
relationship between individual and group level phenomena were
considered during this session of the Tenth International Meeting of the
International Society for STD Research. By examining these interactions
we hoped to address the following two questions: Are all individuals
equally at risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and infection
with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)? and Must the costs and benefits
of interventions designed to prevent these outcomes be divided equally
among all individuals to ensure the success of such interventions?
