Mathematical Modeling of the effect of Public health Campaign against the Spread of HIV/AIDS Epidemics

Abstract

Mathematical Modelling is increasingly being applied to interpret and predict the dynamics and control of infectious diseases. Applications include predicting the impact of vaccination strategies against common infectious such as measles and malaria and determining the optimal control strategies against HIV and vector born diseases. In this paper , differential equations were employed to model the dynamic spread of HIV/AIDS epidemics and the intervention campaigning programs against the future pandemic of HIV/AIDS. The model would provide a veritable tool to estimate the level of effectiveness of mounting advertising campaigns against the spread and adverse health outcomes within a given population. The goal of campaign programs are to change people’s behaviour in order to minimize the spread of AIDS, to reduce the percentage of people who smoke, to cut alcohol and drug abuse, Indian helm and so on.
