The corresponding dynamics equation model of HIV/AIDS was given based on the popular situation of HIV/AIDS in recent years. We studied the stability of the equilibrium point, discussed the threshold of epidemic, and carried on the numerical simulation based on the different persuade rate P, the different disease mortality α and the different infection rate β. The HIV/AIDS epidemic disease can pop in city at R0 > 1. We suggested that more persuade should be increased in addition to strengthening routine work according to the characteristics of R0 in the prevented and the controlled work of HIV/AIDS, which could more effectively reduce the number of HIV/AIDS patients. It provided the theoretical guidance, the beneficial reference on the prevented and the controlled work of HIV/AIDS.
The AIDS program of the United Nations released “unaid report on the global aids epidemic/2012” in November 20, 2012 at Geneva [
It is original to just use some simple observation data and statistical data to make analysis and inference for the research of the spread of HIV/AIDS, HBV and HCV etc., but this does not effectively reflect the nature of the spread [
“The analysis report of AIDS epidemic in 2011” showed the first case of people infected with HIV (overseas personnel) was found in 1989, since then there had been accumulatively reported 2600 cases in this city, which is about one person infected with HIV or one patient per two thousand people. There were more than 800 cases in one county, between 401 - 500 cases in two counties, between 201 - 400 cases in five counties, under 200 cases in other nine counties, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic was growing rapidly in some counties in recent years. The report also showed that AIDS virus infections were priority to the low-income group such as the migrant workers in recent years. The top three careers of the new HIV infections and AIDS patients in the first 6 months report of 2011 were farmers, accounted for 72.3%, housekeeping and unemployment, accounted for 5.37%, and retiree, accounted for 5.08%. The AIDS virus infection was priority to men, accounted for about 67.8%, and women, accounted for 32.2%. The report also showed that the number of the person with HIV/AIDS and AIDS patients by sexual transmission increased year by year in recent years in the new report of the city, such as the sexual transmission ratio was only 19.1% in 2005, but reached to 92% in 2010, and reached to 93.7% in JanuaryJune of 2011. In addition, the proportion of the elderly patients infected with HIV raised fast. The percentage of the person with HIV/AIDS over sixty years old was about 18% in 2008, the proportion of elderly AIDS patients was 12%, and the proportion of the elderly AIDS death was 22%. By the first half of 2011, the percentage of the person with HIV/AIDS over sixty years old was about 31%, the proportion of elderly HIV/AIDS patients was about 24%, the proportion of the elderly AIDS death was about 42%.
By the end of the first half of 2011, there were 219 cases died of AIDS, accounted for 33.5% of the epidemic. There were 34 patients died in 2011, accounted for 65.7% of deaths in 2010. The overall mortality declined obviously, which owed to the prevention and control work of HIV/AIDS epidemic and the increasing antiviral treatment point of the city in recent years [
The total population of the city is divided into four categories: the at-risk group, the group with HIV, the AIDS patients, the persuade group. We can use the nonlinear dynamic equation to describe the spread of the disease process:
where S(t) is the number of the at-risk group at the t moment, I(t) is the number of the group with HIV at the t moment, A(t) is the number of the AIDS patients at the t moment, Q(t) is the number of the persuade group at the t moment, is the infection rates of sexual transmission, μ is the natural mortality, α is the mortality because of disease, δ is the conversion rate of development of the HIV virus to AIDS, P is the persuade rate, namely not contact with the high-risk groups in “persuasion”, and then AIDS disease no longer spread.
The initial value: S(0) = S0, I(0) = I0, A(0) = A0, Q(0) = Q0, the parameter β, α, δ, μ, P are non-negative, population is described by N(t) = S(t) + I(t) + A(t) + Q(t) or the Formula (2):
Make, R0 is the average of patients infected by HIV in the susceptible population.
Theorem 1, I) if R0 < 1, System (1) have only the equilibrium points without infectious diseases (S0, I0, A0, Q0), then
II) if R0 > 1, System (1) have the equilibrium points of the local epidemic E*=(S*, I*, A*, Q*), then
Theorem 2 if R0 < 1, the equilibrium points without infectious diseases is locally asymptotically stable, while R0 > 1, the equilibrium points without infectious diseases is not stable.
Proof: the characteristic equation of the obviously system (1) in the disease-free equilibrium is described by the formula (8) [
Namely:
Obtain:
So the equilibrium points without infectious diseases is locally asymptotically stable at R0 < 1, and the equilibrium points without infectious diseases is not stable at R0 > 1.
Theorem 3 the equilibrium balance E* of the local infectious disease is locally asymptotically stable at R0 >1.
Proof: the characteristic equation of the equilibrium balance E* of the local infectious disease is described by the following Formula (12):
Namely
Obtain
and are the two roots. In addition, because
Then
Namely
So the equilibrium balance E* of the local infectious disease is stable at R0 > 1.
We estimated the initial numerical of the model in order to validate the validity of the system (1) relative to the data about HIV of the report of the city, N(0) = 11983 was the number of persons surveyed in 2010 as the initial population, I(0) = 293 was the number of the infected persons in 2010, A(0) = 47 was the number of ADIS patients at the end of 2010, λ = 9000 was the number of the annual flowing persons (immigration). Then we set the parameters Λ = 10, β = 0.02, μ = 0.02, δ = 0.1, α = 0.33, P = 0.1, and
The following figure showed its stability. If there are not immigrants, the four people would continue to reduce as shown in
different value of the conversion rate δ, the persuade group and the group with HIV decreases with the increase of the conversion rate δ, which lead to the increase of the AIDS patients.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic model was set up according to the characteristics of HIV/AIDS epidemic in the city, and the stability of the equilibriums and the epidemic threshold value were discussed and simulated numerically. It was concluded that the HIV/AIDS epidemic disease could pop in city at R0 > 1. We suggested that more persuade should be increased in addition to strengthening routine work according to the characteristics of R0 in the prevented and the controlled work of HIV/AIDS, which more effectively reduced the number of HIV/AIDS patients, and provided a theoretical basis for the prevented and the controlled strategy of the popular disease in city.
