Table 4.
Biological and behavioral parameters in the contact-as-act model. Biological parameters βA, βC βL are per-act transmission probabilities, subscript i represents one of the three infection-states, and βi shows the computation of per-partnership transmission probabilities for the particular infection-state. Behavioral parameters t... are set to 2.4 to have a mean number of 2.4 sexual acts per week in the population. The subscript. represents rural (R) or urban (U) regions.
