A Nonlinear Multi-Population Behavioral Model To Assess The Roles Of Education Campaigns, Random Supply Of Aids, And Delayed Art Treatment In Hiv/Aids Epidemics, Divine Wanduku

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

The successful reduction in prevalence rates of HIV in many countries is attributed to control measures such as information and education campaigns (IEC), antiretroviral therapy (ART), and national, multinational and multilateral support providing offcial developmental assistance (ODAs) to combat HIV. However, control of HIV epidemics can be interrupted by limited random supply of ODAs, high poverty rates and low living standards.

Extremely fast-paced images of life, a lack of time to study the events reported by the media, and sometimes a lack of personal skills to analyze these reports have led to a wide audience accepting the material in the same way as media outlets. The article attempts to theoretically comprehend the phenomenon of creating …
