Co-Infection Model of HIV/AIDS-Pneumonia on The Effect of Treatment At Initial And Final Stages
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 10
Abstract
Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and pneumonia co-infection is a combination of two infections. Here, an individual contracted with both Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Pneumococcal Carinii Pneumonia at the same time is involved. This paper focuses on the HIV/AIDS - pneumonia co-infection model which is shown to be positively bounded. In this model, we consider treatment for co-infection at both initial and final stages of development. The endemic states are considered to exist when the basic reproduction number for each disease is greater than one. The basic reproduction numbers are also used to see the impact of treating one disease on the co-infection. Numerical simulations indicate the effect of varying the treatment parameters on single disease and the co-infection dynamics. As we increase treatment rates, the infections decrease.
