| dc.description.abstract | This paper proposes and analyzes two epidemic models incorporating the effects of the awareness programs. One of the models is for HIV awareness and the other AIDS awareness. Awareness programs play a promising role in disseminating the information about outbreak of any HIV/AIDS in Turkey. This motivates people to take precautionary measures and guides the infected individuals to get the required treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the awareness on the spread and control of HIV/AIDS in Turkey. The models are analyzed using stability theory of differential equations. The sensitivity of parameters has been discussed and it has been found that the awareness education programs have positive impact in reducing the infection prevalence of the infective population in Turkey. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media B.V. | |
