“…As has been described by Daykin (1990) in his epidemiological review, there are a number of modes of transmission of the infection, each of which would be differentiated in a transmission model, viz: (a) by sexual contact between male homosexuals and bisexuals, one infected and one not; (b) by injecting drug use (IDU) involving the sharing of needles or syringes contaminated with the blood of an infected person; (c) by receiving blood or blood products contaminated with HIV, this having been a particular hazard to haemophiliacs.…”

“…This may explain the absence of a significant positive correlation between seropositive status and frequency or number of sexual contacts with infected spouses, as noted by Daykin (1990) in his review paper. Barrett's model represents variations between people in risk of infection per partner month for both new and old partners.…”

AbstractThe paper reviews the mathematical models of transmission of infection that have been put forward for representing the spread of HIV infection and AIDS. It describes and compares the main models that have been proposed and thereby provides some guidance on how such models might be constructed and utilised. There is also discussion of the importance of constructing such mathematical models of transmission of infection which further our understanding of the transmission dynamics of the epidemic and help to identify important epidemiological parameters and their likely influence on the epidemic's course.

1. In this note I describe the mathematical formulation of a model for representing the spread of AIDS in a population, which is designed for actuarial use in dealing with life insurance companies and pension funds. A major requirement of actuaries is that the model should be age-specific, and should take into account normal age-specific mortality as well as the extra sickness and mortality from AIDS.

Although seroprevalence studies have shown that Thai male sex workers are at heightened risk of HIV infection, no sustained preventive strategies have so far targeted homosexually active men in Thailand. In this paper, we bring together data from qualitative research carried out in Pattaya Sittitrai 1995, 1997) and Bangkok (Storer 1999a(Storer , 1999b, with data generated during a bar-based intervention in Bangkok (Carl, unpublished report), to develop a taxonomy of sites in which the recruitment of male commercial sex can occur. We also examine the sexual networks of Thai male sex workers and their clients in order to demonstrate the overlap of commercial and non-commercial male-male sex sites, and the intersection of male commercial sex with heterosexual sex. Previous interventions directed towards Thai male sex workers been non-continuous; largely restricted to high-pro®le tourist areas, have not acknowledged the importance of recreational sex; and have not built up a capacity for ongoing intervention. With a change of focus, interventions directed towards sex workers could reduce the risks of HIV infection among both organized and freelance sex workers as well as their commercial and male and female casual sex partners. First, however, there needs to be a commitment to well planned and long range interventions directed by and at male sex workers.
