Modeling and analysis of the San Francisco City Clinic Cohort (SFCCC) HIV-epidemic including treatment by Brandy Rapatski, Juan Tolosa

“…We investigate two HIV/AIDS epidemic models.The first model represents the early San Franciscomen having sex with men (MSM) epidemic.We use data from the San Francisco City Clinic Cohort Study (SFCCC), documentingthe onset of HIV in San Francisco (1978-1984).The second model is a ``what-if'' scenario model includingtesting and treatment in the SFCCC epidemic.We use compartmental, population-level models,described by systems ofordinary differential equations.We find the basic reproductive number $R_0$ for each system,and we prove that if $R_0<1 the="" system="" has="" only="" the="" disease-free="" equilibrium="" dfe="" which="" is="" locally="" and="" globally="" stable="" whereas="" if="" r_0="">1$, the DFE is unstable.In addition, when $R_0>1$, both systems have a unique endemic equilibrium (EE).We show that treatment alone would not have stopped the San Francisco MSM epidemic,but would have significantly reduced its impact.…”
