dc.description.abstract | In this paper multi-state modelling is used to determine the proba-
bility distribution of the di erent states of vertical transmission of HIV.
We start with a healthy-infected-dead three state model which we then
modify and extend to a four state healthy-infected-treated-Aids four
state model. Using the matrix approach we calculate their respection
transition probabilities and compare the two models using the basic re-
production number. In both models R0 < 1 suggesting that this mode
of transmission will eventually be contained. | en_US |
