Table IV.

Estimates of HIV transmission risk resulting from various treatment and prevention modeling assumptions.

Parameters/ modeling assumptions Number of new infection in 1 year Rate (1000/year) Reduction in transmission (%)
Base model 2.73 23.2
Correct and consistent condom use (27% base model prevalence)
 50% 1.95 16.6 0.28
 75% 1.08 9.1 0.61
Syphilis (16.7% base model prevalence)
 8% 1.38 11.8 0.49
 5% 0.84 7 0.70
HSV-2 (90% base model prevalence)
 45% 1.35 11.7 0.50
 25% 0.78 6.5 0.72
Male circumcision (31% base model prevalence)
 50% 2.58 22.1 0.05
 75% 2.41 20.5 0.11
Persons on HARRT (base model is 0% adherent)
 95% adherent 1.368 12.7 0.45
 80% adherent 1.152 14.5 0.38
Treatment only
 Syphilis & HSV2 (50%) 0.69 5.9 0.75
 Syphilis & HSV2 (50%) 0.39 3.2 0.86
 & HAART (95%)

Note: The base model parameter estimates listed in parentheses above are based on data among HIV-positive sexually active women and men in Mozambique in the three months prior to initiating highly active antiretroviral therapy.

Syphilis and HSV-2 parameters are based on treatment or suppressive therapy to reduce active sexually transmitted disease prevalence.
