IMPACT-HIV Group Meeting

Social Networks and Disease Spread:

LAURENS BAKKER – School of Computing Science & MoCSSy Programme, SFU

PHILIPPE GIABBANELLI – Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology & MoCSSy Programme, SFU

Since the late 1990s Social Networks have become the subject of much research in fields as varied as Sociology, Economics, Epidemiology, Computing Science, and even (Socio)physics. The generic question underlying much of this research was “What are the consequences/effects of the social network for/on …?” (fill in the blank). In order to answer (parts of) this question, one needs to know what a social network is and what it does. In this talk we will address popular understandings and misunderstandings of what social networks are and what they do, as well as somewhat more involved properties, taking disease spread as an example.

During the Canada Post strike announced September 25, 2025, the following measures will be undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • The BC-CfE Laboratory has transitioned to private courier for delivery of outgoing reports and documents. Results required urgently can be faxed upon request. (Lab Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8775; FAX 604-806-9463)
  • The BC-CfE Drug Treatment Program (DTP) will fax outgoing forms and documents to the provider’s office. (DTP Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8515; FAX 604-806-9044)
  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications. We recommend requesting medication at least 2 weeks in advance in case of delivery delays, particularly to rural/remote parts of BC. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During the Canada Post strike, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
