Synopsis

In the worldwide fight against the AIDS epidemic, the ability to predict the number and social impact of future cases plays a vital role. The choice of control strategies, public health decisions, and the evaluation of possible interventions depend on having such information that is accurate and reliable. This book is devoted to the statistical analysis of basic data on the spread of AIDS and the mathematical modelling of the transmission and spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which causes the disease. Such techniques take into account medical, psychosocial, behavioral and economic factors, and can help to integrate this information into an efficient methodology for the estimation of future needs and how to meet them. In addition to AIDS specialists, the studies here will be valuable to all those involved in public health, epidemiology and the control of communicable diseases.
