Drugs and substance misuse has been recognized to have a significant impact on
the spread of HIV/AIDS epidemic. We formulate a deterministic model to assess
the contribution of drug and substance abuse to the spread of HIV/AIDS disease
among adults in Turkana County, Kenya. The basic reproduction number of the
model is determined and stability of equilibria analyzed. The disease free equilibrium
point is shown to be globally asymptotically stable when its corresponding basic
reproduction number is less than unity. The Lyapunov theorem is used to show that
the endemic equilibrium point is Globally asymptotically stable when its corresponding
reproduction number is greater than unity.
