Description of the EMOD-HIV Model v0.7
The expansion of tools against HIV transmission has brought increased interest in epidemiological models that can predict the impact of these interventions. The EMOD-HIV model was recently compared to eleven other independently developed mathematical models of HIV transmission to determine the extent to which they agree about the potential impact of expanded use of antiretroviral therapy in Sou...
متن کاملAge-dependent partnering and the HIV transmission chain: a microsimulation analysis
Efficient planning and evaluation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention programmes requires an understanding of what sustains the epidemic, including the mechanism by which HIV transmission keeps pace with the ageing of the infected population. Recently, more detailed population models have been developed which represent the epidemic with sufficient detail to characterize the dynamic...
متن کاملOesophagostomum dentatum Extract Modulates T Cell-Dependent Immune Responses to Bystander Antigens and Prevents the Development of Allergy in Mice
One third of the human population is currently infected by one or more species of parasitic helminths. Certain helminths establish long-term chronic infections resulting in a modulation of the host's immune system with attenuated responsiveness to "bystander" antigens such as allergens or vaccines. In this study we investigated whether parasite-derived products suppress the development of aller...
متن کاملOn the Regression Approach to Structured Output Regression ICML 2013 – SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL
In this supplementary material, we make use of the following notation. x i denotes the i th entry of the (column) vector X(x), y j the j th entry of the (column) vector Y (y), V[i; j] denotes the entry in position (i, j) of the matrix V. Also, V[ ; j] denotes the j th column of the matrix V. Finally, δ i,j denotes the delta function which gives 1 if i = j, and 0 otherwise. 7. Example of a distr...
متن کاملThe Cost and Cost-Effectiveness of Alternative Strategies to Expand Treatment to HIV-Positive South Africans: Scale Economies and Outreach Costs
The South African government is currently discussing various alternative approaches to the further expansion of antiretroviral treatment (ART) in public-sector facilities. Alternatives under consideration include the criteria under which a patient would be eligible for free care, the level of coverage with testing and care, how much of the care will be delivered in small facilities located clos...
