A Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Framework for Evaluating the U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic Plan [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a major public health concern in the United States, with about 1.2 million people living with HIV and 35,000 newly infected each year. There are considerable geographical disparities in HIV burden and care access across the U.S.

Mathematical analysis of an in-host model of viral dynamics with spatial heterogeneity [PDF]
Disc. Cont. Dyn. Sys. B 21: 1237-1257, 2016, 2015 We consider a spatially-heterogeneous generalization of a well-established model for the dynamics of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus-type 1 (HIV) within a susceptible host. The model consists of a nonlinear system of three coupled reaction-diffusion equations with parameters that may vary spatially.

Earlier versus later start of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected adults with tuberculosis. [PDF]
, 2011 Tuberculosis remains an important cause of death among patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Robust data are lacking with regard to the timing for the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in relation to the start of ...

Mathematical modeling of escape of HIV from cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses [PDF]
, 2012 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 or simply HIV) induces a persistent infection, which in the absence of treatment leads to AIDS and death in almost all infected individuals. HIV infection elicits a vigorous immune response starting about 2-3 weeks post infection that can lower the amount of virus in the body, but which cannot eradicate the virus ...

Assessment of the Potential Impact and Cost-effectiveness of Self-Testing for HIV in Low-Income Countries. [PDF]
, 2015 Studies have demonstrated that self-testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is highly acceptable among individuals and could allow cost savings, compared with provider-delivered HIV testing and counseling (PHTC), although the longer-term ...

A SICA compartmental model in epidemiology with application to HIV/AIDS in Cape Verde [PDF]
Ecological Complexity 30 (2017), 70--75, 2016 We propose a new mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Global stability of the unique endemic equilibrium is proved. Then, based on data provided by the "Progress Report on the AIDS response in Cape Verde 2015", we calibrate our model to the cumulative cases of infection by HIV and AIDS from 1987 to
