Network diagram among eight types of infection states. The red arrows represent the type-reproduction numbers of all sexual (horizontal) transmission events that occur between subpopulations. The blue arrows indicate the type-reproduction numbers of all mother-to-child (vertical) transmission events caused by infected women. The thin arrows indicate that the contribution is small when the proportion of homosexual individuals is small (see Table 3)
