This project will develop quantitative methods that will be used to inform public health officials in understanding past and current HIV/AIDS epidemics as well as planning for the future of these epidemics. It will understand not only the behavioural and demographic characteristics of importance as risk factors for HIV infection in South Africa, the epicentre of the global HIV pandemic, but also the geographical spatial locations in which HIV cases are likely to emerge in the future. This project will also forecast the future geographical trends in Australia's changing HIV epidemic in order to plan for intervention strategies and prepare clinical practice appropriately.

该项目将制定量化方法，用于使公共卫生官员了解过去和目前的艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病以及规划这些流行病的未来。它不仅将了解作为全球艾滋病毒流行病中心的南非艾滋病毒感染风险因素的重要行为和人口特征，而且还将了解今后可能出现艾滋病毒病例的地理空间位置。该项目还将预测澳大利亚不断变化的艾滋病毒流行的未来地理趋势，以便规划干预战略并适当准备临床实践。
