A multipopulation HIV/AIDS deterministic epidemic model is studied. The population structure is a multihuman behavioral structure composed of humans practicing varieties of distinct HIV/AIDS preventive measures learnt from information and education campaigns (IEC) in the community. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment is considered, and the delay from HIV exposure until the onset of ART is considered. The effects of national and multilateral support providing official developmental assistance (ODAs) to combat HIV are represented. A separate dynamics for the IEC information density in the community is derived. The epidemic model is a system of differential equations with random delays. The basic reproduction number (BRN) for the dynamics is obtained, and stability analysis of the system is conducted, whereby other disease control conditions are obtained in a multi- and a finite dimensional phase space. Numerical simulation results are given.

Keywords: HIV/AIDS education campaigns, Lyapunov functionals technique, Basic reproduction number, multidimensional phase space, global uniform stability, delayed ART treatment, exponential and gamma distributions, deterministic model.

Figure 1.  Shows the behaviors of the modified standard incidence and the ordinary standard incidence rates as the number of infectives continually increase over time. Clearly, the modified standard incidence is more suitable for many real life scenarios where the incidence rate of the disease saturates over time as the number of infections increase in the population

Figure 4.  (a-1)-(d-1) shows the behavior of the path of the total susceptible population $ S(t) = S_{0}(t)+S_{1}(t)+S_{2}(t) $, over time, whenever the conditions of Theorem 5.3 and Theorem 5.4 are satisfied. Clearly, the path of $ S(t) $ is persistent as proven in Theorem 5.4 and approaches the DFE state $ S^{*}_{0} = \frac{B}{\mu_{S_{0}}} = 26.13417 $. The dotted redline in (d-1) is the value of $ S^{*}_{0} = 26.13417 $. The figures (e-1), (f-1) and (g-1) also show the paths of the HIV related states $ I, T $ and $ A $. Clearly, the paths of $ I, T $ and $ A $ approach the corresponding coordinate $ 0 $ of the DFE $ E_{0} $. In other words, the disease is getting extinct over time
