Abstract :
Mathematical models here serve as tools for understanding the epidemiology of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) if they are carefully constructed. This paper deals with the spread of STDs infections and in particular HIV epidemics. This article emphasis is on the epidemiological impacts of AIDS and the role of mathematical modeling in the study, to establish the frequency of occurrence of HIV infection and to promote a formal modeling culture among health planners and survey designers. This work reviews some studies and concepts which are related in various ways to the present work.
