Dynamics of HIV transmission among men who have sex with men in Taiwan: a mathematical modeling study
Our study presents a new dynamic mathematical model for estimating infectious HIV cases among MSM in Taiwan. By accounting for the heterogeneity of infectious HIV/AIDS within the MSM population, we effectively estimated the number of infections during early surveillance years and implement concentrated measures, thereby reducing infectious HIV/AIDS cases, which contributes to the overall reduction in HIV/AIDS cases. With these estimations, identifying target populations and implementing effective intervention measures at appropriate times can be improved.
