本文探讨了急性感染和并发的伙伴关系在津巴布韦的年轻人之间的艾滋病毒传播动态中的作用,使用现实的代表性的伙伴关系网络和所有公布的估计特定阶段的传染性。我们使用动态指数随机图模型来估计伙伴关系网络参数的实证研究的性行为和驱动随机模拟艾滋病毒传播通过这个动态网络。我们的模拟网络与观察到的短期和长期伙伴关系的频率和持续时间相匹配,并具有特定于性别和伙伴关系类型的并发模式。我们的研究结果表明,在目前的行为水平下,如果没有并发症和急性感染,这种流行病就不能在这一人群中持续下去;去除其中任何一种都会使传播低于持续性的阈值。在这两种情况下,我们估计20-25%的传播来自急性期感染,30-50%来自慢性期,30-45%来自艾滋病期。急性感染的影响受到并发症的强烈缓和。通过减少并发症来减少这种影响可能会结束津巴布韦目前的艾滋病毒流行病。
This paper explores the roles of acute infection and concurrent partnerships in HIV transmission dynamics among young adults in Zimbabwe using realistic representations of the partnership network and all published estimates of stage-specific infectivity. We use dynamic exponential random graph models to estimate partnership network parameters from an empirical study of sexual behavior and drive a stochastic simulation of HIV transmission through this dynamic network. Our simulated networks match observed frequencies and durations of short- and long-term partnerships, with concurrency patterns specific to gender and partnership type. Our findings suggest that, at current behavior levels, the epidemic cannot be sustained in this population without both concurrency and acute infection; removing either brings transmission below the threshold for persistence. With both present, we estimate 20–25% of transmissions stem from acute-stage infections, 30–50% from chronic-stage, and 30–45% from AIDS-stage. The impact of acute infection is strongly moderated by concurrency. Reducing this impact by reducing concurrency could potentially end the current HIV epidemic in Zimbabwe.
