Abstract
Determining the possible modes of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a major public health concern. In cases of putative transmission by a novel means, it is essential to determine whether such transmission really did occur or whether the infection arose through a different, perhaps more commonly known source. Understanding the overall history and structure of the epidemic may be of value for predicting its course and developing public health policy.
