An Age-Structured Epidemic Model for Monitoring and Control of HIV/AIDS

摘要

In order to interpret the importance of monitoring and control of HIV/AIDS, according to our ideas of monitoring and control of HIV/AIDS, a continuous SUI epidemic model for HIV/AIDS is established in which S denotes susceptible individuals, U denotes individuals infected with HIV but undiscovered and I denotes individuals discovered to be infected with HIV virus. Since chronological age and infection age play important roles in the infectivity of infected populations, it is significant to study HIV/AIDS models with chronological age and infection age.
