Will ART rollout in Africa drive an epidemic of drug resistant HIV?

Mathematical models are useful tools for guiding public health policy in many diseases, including HIV. The parameters used to calibrate such models are usually not known with sufficient accuracy to allow the models to make definitive, quantitative predictions and their chief value lies in producing...

Zusammenfassung:Mathematical models are useful tools for guiding public health policy in many diseases, including HIV. The parameters used to calibrate such models are usually not known with sufficient accuracy to allow the models to make definitive, quantitative predictions and their chief value lies in producing general predictions and rules of thumb that can be used to guide policy.
