Abstract
A model for the transmission of HIV is proposed with the inclusion of prevention strategies, such as condom use, ARV drug treatment and voluntary counseling and testing. The model is used to predict the potential impact of the strategies that are currently being used to control HIV/AIDS. The model shows that reduction in the number of sexually contacts, by increasing condom use and avoidance of multiple sexual partners has a significant impact in reducing the transmission of the disease.
