In dth2/EpiModelHIV_SHAMP: Epidemic Modeling of HIV Transmission among MSM, MSMF and Heterosexual Populations

Description

Stochastically simulates disease transmission from the heat bath given the current state of the active HIV negative population.

Usage

immigration_shamp(dat, at)

Arguments

dat	Master data list object of class dat containing networks, individual-level attributes, and summary statistics.
at	Current time step.

Details

This function takes all active HIV negative MSMF nodes and calculates a transmission probability for each individual based on race specific exposure to the heatbath which incorperates race specific prevalence estiamtes for determining risk. After transmission events, individual-level attributes for the infected persons are updated and summary statistics for incidence calculated.

The input values dat$param$msm.aq.prob.'R' were R is a race specific probability taking values (B,BI,H,HI,W).

Value

For each new infection, the disease status, infection time, and related HIV attributes are updated for the infected node. Summary statistics for disease incidence overall, and by race are calculated and stored on dat$epi.
