About the Book

This book is the result of a workshop on the quantitative assessment of the impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) on society. It is divided into four parts: quality of AIDS/HIV prevalence data used in models; scope and applications of models; linking models with sociological information; and linking models with economic information. The volume mainly provides elaborations of methodological studies presented at the workshop and will stimulate the required integration of international and multidisciplinary collaboration for AIDS impact assessment.
