Co-infection mathematical model for HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis with optimal control in Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: The co-epidemics of HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis (TB) outbreak is one of a serious disease in Ethiopia that demands integrative approaches to combat its transmission. In contrast, epidemiological co-infection models often considered a single latent case and recovered individuals with TB. To bridge this gap, we presented a new optimal HIV-TB co-infection model that considers both high risk and low risk latent TB cases with taking into account preventive efforts of both HIV and TB diseases, case finding for TB and HIV/AIDS treatment. This study aimed to develop optimal HIV/AIDS-TB co-infection mathematical model to explore the best cost-effective measure to mitigate the disease burden. The model is analysed analytically by firstly segregating TB and HIV only sub models followed by the full TB-H
