The impact of changes in the separation rate, σ, on percent infected for “ρ dependent” and “ρ fixed” cases. Baseline parameters to achieve 3% prevalence include μ = 1/15/yr, κ = μ*N/2, σ = 2/yr = 1/6/month, γ = 1/yr, h = 130/yr, β = 0.0737/act, ρ = 33.66/yr, and ω = 0. For the “ρ dependent” case, the equilibrium number of pairs was held constant at 8,875 according to equation (14) (see methods).
