This study attempted to identify the proportion of heterosexual transmission in the U.S. that is secondary (i.e., cases where the patient cannot identify a primary risk factor for HIV in their partner(s)), such as homosexual sex and injection drug use. While distinguishing "primary" from "secondary" transmission may be useful in targeting specific educational interventions, from a clinical standpoint it is irrelevant to appropriate management.
