Demographic model of South African HIV epidemic Instructions for users of the STI-HIV model ########################################### This note has been prepared for individuals who wish to verify the calculations performed using the STI-HIV model, as presented in the paper “The effect of changes in condom usage and antiretroviral treatment coverage on HIV incidence in South Africa: a model-based analysis” (Johnson, Hallett, Rehle and Dorrington). The note is not intended to provide a comprehensive guide on all aspects of the STI-HIV model – it only concerns those aspects of the model that are relevant to the paper.
