hiv_cluster_1984 — Sexual contacts of early AIDS patients (1984)
- Description
A network of sexual contacts between 40 men with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), from the cluster of early cases in the USA investigated by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) by Auerbach et al. (1984), as distributed by KONECT (from P. Holme's collection). This network is the origin of the phrase "patient zero", for the patient who links several groups of cases (labeled "patient O", for "out of California", in the study). Each node is a patient, and an undirected edge connects two patients who reported a sexual contact. The data identify the patients only by indices (the labels and cities of the study are not included). Only the largest connected component is included.
