So What If the Program Ain't Perfect?

A Mathematical Model of AIDS Education

Given that no cure for AIDS or vaccine for HIV will be developed in the nearfuture, many have argued that AIDS education is the best approach to preventing further spread of the epidemic. However, a number of researchers have questioned the ultimate effectiveness of such educational interventions. This article constructs a mathematical model of AIDS education that explicitly acknowledges that such programs are imperfect. The model shows that such imperfect programs may serve to reduce HIV transmission significantly over time. The policy implications stemming from this result are discussed.
