HIV/AIDS Transmission Dynamics Model with Control Strategies

A mathematical model of HIV/AIDS transmission dynamics formulated by Christopher Chukwuma Asogwa, incorporating post-contact control measures. The model includes six compartments: Susceptible, under-3-day Exposed, Exposed-Uninfected, Treatment, Pre-AIDS, and AIDS. It was last updated on 2026-04-15 and is available as a 5.5 KB XLS file on figshare.

Use Cases

• Simulating population dynamics across disease compartments based on the described six-class model.
• Analyzing the impact of pre-contact preventive control measures on disease spread.
• Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of combined control strategies like Pre-contact Preventive and Anti-retroviral therapy (ART).
• Studying the stability of disease-free and endemic equilibrium points based on the effective reproduction number.
• Implementing and testing optimal control systems derived using Pontryagin’s maximum principle.

Strengths

• Model is based on a defined six-compartment structure for HIV/AIDS transmission.
• Includes analysis of seven specific control strategies for intervention.
• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and variable definitions require verification.
• The model's simulated population dynamics may reflect theoretical assumptions not validated with real-world data.
