The objective of the methods proposed is to provide a parametric model for the incubation of AIDS and to use the chosen parameterization to test for the effect of age at seroconversion, and, after adjusting for markers of immunosuppression, t o assess variations in periods corresponding to different

Based on a simple stochastic model the influence of the incubation period of the HIV-infection on some qualitative aspects of the spread of AIDS is studied. A critical 'infection rate' is calculated in dependence on parameters of the incubation period density function.

consider the spread of an AIDS epidemic among N interacting communities (cities, say), each having at least one of the major four HIV transmission groups: (i) homosexual/bisexual men, (ii) blood transfusion recipients, (iii) intravenous drug users, or (iv) heterosexuals. Our model consists of a sy
The influence of topographical situation on the spread of infection is studied. The investigation is based on a multigroup model. The population under consideration is thought to be divided into subpopulations living in regions that are separated from each other by natural barriers (mountains). Infe
