| hiv prevalence, risk, and partner serodiscordance among pregnant women in bangkok. bangkok collaborative perinatal hiv transmission study group. | most prior studies of the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) epidemic in thailand have focused on commercial sex encounters; however, because the epidemic increasingly concerns stable heterosexual relationships, determining risk factors for this form of transmission is warranted. | 1998 | 9660363 |
| a markov model for measuring vaccine efficacy for both susceptibility to infection and reduction in infectiousness for prophylactic hiv vaccines. | we use a discrete-time non-homogeneous markov chain to model data from augmented human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) vaccine trials. for this design, the study population consists of primary participants some of whom have steady sexual partners who are also enrolled to augment the trial. the state space consists of the infection status of primary participants without steady partners and the infection status of both persons in the steady partnerships. the transition probabilities are functions of ... | 1999 | 9990692 |
