16 Repeat the model 4 times, once for each stage of HIV. Use time series of HIV prevalence to determine incidence. Incidence gives rate at which people enter first stage; overall (Weibull) survival determines rate at which people move to next stage. TB-HIV model Williams BG et al.

20 Spatial Epidemiology of HIV Doubling time = 1 year Life expectancy = 10 years Number of partners = 4 Proportion of random partners chosen at random = 0 (left hand set) or 10% (right hand set) in the following slides. Note that in this model migrants have exactly the same sexual behaviour and individual risk as non-migrants.

27 1.Can we combine spatial/network models with our more conventional continuous time models of HIV? 2.Can we get a better understanding of the host-viral interaction? 3.What are the population level implications of 2? 4.Do we have enough data to explore fully the joint dynamics of TB and HIV? Questions for all of us

28 Advice to young epidemiologists Never make a calculation until you know the answer. Make an estimate before every calculation, try a simple biological argument (R 0, generation time, selection, survival, control). Guess the answer to every puzzle. Courage: no one else needs to know what the guess is. Therefore, make it quickly, by instinct. A right guess reinforces this instinct. A wrong guess brings the refreshment of surprise. In either case, life as an epidemiologist, however long, is more fun. Plagiarised from E.F. Taylor and J.A. Wheeler Space-time Physics 1963
