A TB-HIV/AIDS coinfection model and optimal control treatment [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 35 (2015), no. 9, 4639--4663, 2015
We propose a population model for TB-HIV/AIDS coinfection transmission dynamics, which considers antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection and treatments for latent and active tuberculosis. The HIV-only and TB-only sub-models are analyzed separately, as well as the TB-HIV/AIDS full model.
