Stability Analysis of a New Differential-Difference Model Applied to the Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Effect on the Spread of HIV
Résumé
In this research, an examination is conducted on a model derived from the inquiry into the efficacy of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) within high-risk populations. To achieve this objective, we employ an SI model coupled with an age-structured equation to delineate the dynamics of individuals under PrEP protection, incorporating an infected-dependent rate of new users recruited from the susceptible population. This nonlinear term is contingent upon a factor dedicated to the political or economic context of a government. Local asymptotic stability for both disease-free and endemic equilibria is established, and global asymptotic stability for the disease-free steady-state is demonstrated. To address the 1 system's behavior, a reduction of the partial differential equation is undertaken, presenting it as a coupled system of differential equations and a delayed difference equation. Lastly, persistence is substantiated when the endemic equilibrium is realized.
