Mathematical assessment of the role of pre-exposure prophylaxis on HIV transmission dynamics

作者:

Highlights:

• We model the impact of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in an MSM population.

• The use of PrEP can induce backward bifurcation if its efficacy is not high enough.

• The combined use of HAART and PrEP can lead to HIV control in the population.
