Abstract:

In order to explore the impact of human movement, infection age, and a hostile boundary environment on the HIV/AIDS spatiotemporal transmission dynamics, we construct an age-space structure model with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. Applying the method of characteristics, we transform the model into a system of a reaction-diffusion equation and an integral equation. We derive the basic reproduction ratio R0 and investigate the threshold dynamics in terms of R0. Out theoretical results show that, under appropriate conditions, the disease can be eliminated when R0<1 and the infection is uniformly persistent among the population when R0>1. We verify the theoretical result by numerical simulations in a two-dimensional spatial domain.

Key words: HIV/AIDS model, Dirichlet boundary condition, Age-space structured, Basic reproduction ratio, Threshold dynamics, Uniform persistence
