This paper examines the combined effects of screening and variable inflow of infective immigrants on
the spread of HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome) in a
population of varying size. A nonlinear deterministic mathematical model for the problem is proposed
and analysed qualitatively using the stability theory of differential equations. The results show that the
reproductive number R0 >1 as the rate of inflow of infective immigrants increases leading to persistence
of the disease in the population. However, the presence of screening greatly reduces the spread of
HIV/AIDS. Numerical simulation of the model is implemented to investigate the sensitivity of certain key
parameters on the spread of the disease. |
