Abstract: The analysis of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is a topic of major interest in demography, sociology and other disciplines. Indeed the STI phenomenon itself has resulted in recent years in the creation of several new journals including AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Sexually Transmitted Infections. STIs are a problem of enormous import in the world today and continue to spread at alarming rates. Furthermore, they are increasingly affecting larger and larger numbers of people. Specifically, sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV, are now gaining a foothold in the heterosexual population in China.
