چکیده
On 13 December 2005, the UNAIDS Reference Group on Estimates, Modelling and Projections reviewed results of the application of the BED-assay for estimation of HIV-1 incidence in surveillance settings, and in selected validation studies. Data were presented from studies in Côte d’Ivoire, South Africa, Rwanda, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Thailand, and from additional laboratory validation studies.

متن کاملSpline-based modelling of trends in the force of HIV infection, with application to the UNAIDS Estimation and Projection Package
OBJECTIVE We previously developed a flexible specification of the UNAIDS Estimation and Projection Package (EPP) that relied on splines to generate time-varying values for the force of infection parameter. Here, we test the feasibility of this approach for concentrated HIV/AIDS epidemics with very sparse data and compare two methods for making short-term future projections with the spline-based...
