Mathematical modelling of the transmission dynamics of HIV infection and AIDS (a review)

Mathematical modelling of the spread of infection is reviewed in the context of the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The paper is based in part on the contributions by the participants to an informal workshop on Mathematical Modelling of AIDS organised by the Royal Statistical Society and held in May 1987.
