Abstract :
We consider the spread of an AIDS epidemic among N interacting communities (cities, say), each having at least one of the major four HIV transmission groups: 1.
mosexual/bisexual men,
lood transfusion recipients,
intravenous drug users, or
eterosexuals.
odel consists of a system of 4N differential equations (d.e.s). We show that as N → ∞, the number of infectives in each community converges to the unique solution of a Liouville type stochastic differential equation (s.d.e.).
