Models used in HIV surveillance systems
| Model | Function | Data required |
|---|---|---|
| Estimation and Projection Package | Generates an HIV prevalence curve for generalised HIV epidemics | HIV prevalence estimates for the general population over >1 year |
| Workbooks | To systematically collate estimates where incidence of HIV is in high risk groups | Estimates of the size of high risk groups and the prevalence of infection within the groups |
| Spectrum Projection Package | Projects the age specific demographic impact of HIV and AIDS | Estimates of HIV incidence from the Estimation and Projection Package and workbooks |
| Asian Epidemic Model | Predicts the course of the HIV epidemic and the impact of interventions | Distributions of high risk behaviours and biological parameters determining transmission dynamics |
