A two-sex model for the influence of heavy alcohol consumption on the spread of HIV/AIDS by Gigi Thomas, Edward M. Lungu

“…., can be different for men and women, the primaryobjective of our present paper is to construct a two-sex model aimedat shedding light on how both sexes, with varying heavy alcoholconsumption trends, contribute differently to the HIV/AIDS spread.Based on numerical simulations, supported by the UNAIDSepidemiological software SPECTRUM and using the available data, ourstudy identifies heavy drinking among men and women to be a majordriving force for HIV/AIDS in Botswana and sub-Sahara Africa andquantifies its hazardous outcomes in terms of increased number ofactive TB cases and economic burden caused by increased need forAntiRetroviral Therapy (ART). …”
