Collinearities among key sexual network statistics and predictors of higher HIV or herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) prevalence.

(a) Identified collinearities among key sexual network statistics across 500 sexual network simulations. Predictors of higher HIV (b) or HSV-2 (c) prevalence and their effect sizes as identified across 500 epidemic and sexual network simulations. In b and c, network statistics are ordered according to descending strength of effect size. Size of arrow denotes strength of effect size: large arrow for strong effect size (≥0.6), medium arrow for intermediate-strength effect size (0.2≤ effect size <0.6), and small arrow for weak effect size (<0.2). HSV-2, herpes simplex virus type 2.
