Optimal Control of HIV/AIDS in the Workplace in the Presence of Careless Individuals

Abstract: A nonlinear dynamical system is proposed and qualitatively analyzed to study the dynamics of HIV/AIDS in the workplace. The disease-free equilibrium point of the model is shown to be locally asymptotically stable if the basic reproductive number, ℛ 0, is less than unity and the model is shown to exhibit a unique endemic equilibrium when the basic reproductive number is greater than unity. It is shown that, in the absence of recruitment of infectives, the disease is eradicated when ℛ 0 < 1, whiles the disease i… Show more
