This study reviews HIV prevention in Cuba in light of (1) the liberalization of HIV quarantine, (2) the growth in tourism, and (3) the aggressive system of public health promotion. Sixty-two key informants, including Cubans who are HIV-positive, at risk, or working as health professionals, were interviewed during June and July of 1996. Findings include: (1) there is a common public perception that the government's national HIV screening and contact tracing system obviates the need for individual precaution; and (2) both commercial sex workers and men who have sex with men believe that legal and social forces hinder their indigenous HIV prevention efforts. A well developed system of preventive health care offers the potential for effective HIV prevention. The fact that Cuban officials use the success of their HIV/AIDS control program to promote national pride may retard appropriate changes in their response to currently rising levels of infection.

OR Modeling and AIDS Policy: From Theory to Practice

1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The AIDS epidemic is a serious, growing public health problem worldwide, but resources for treating HIV-infected patients and for combating the spread of the virus are limited. Governments, public-health agencies, and health-care providers must determine how best to allocate scarce resources for HIV treatment and prevention among different programs and populations. OR-based models have influenced—and can influence—AIDS policy decisions. Mathematical modeling has had an effect on AIDS policy in a number of areas, including estimating HIV prevalence and incidence in the United States, understanding the pathophysiology of HIV, evaluating costs and benefits of HIV-screening programs, evaluating the effects of needle-exchange programs, and determining policies for HIV/AIDS care in California. Further work is needed to model a range of programs using comparable methods, to model overall epidemic control strategy, and to improve the usefulness of OR-based models for policy making.
