Abstract

top
We present a model for describing the spread of an infectious disease with public screening measures to control the spread. We want to address the problem of determining an optimal screening strategy for a disease characterized by appreciable duration of the infectiveness period and by variability of the transmission risk. The specific disease we have in mind is the HIV infection. However the model will apply to a disease for which class-age structure is significant and should not be disregarded.
