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

Description

Module function for anti-retroviral treatment initiation and adherence over time.

Usage

tx_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

Persons enter into the simulation with one of four ART "patterns": never tested, tested but never treated, treated and achieving partial HIV viral suppression, or treated with full viral suppression (these types are stored as individual-level attributes in tt.traj). This module initiates ART for treatment naive persons in the latter two types, and then cycles them on and off treatment conditional on empirical race and sexual idenitity adherence rates. ART initiation, non-adherence, and restarting are all stochastically simulated based on binomial statistical models.

Value

This function returns the dat object with updated tx.status, tx.init.time, cum.time.on.tx, cum.time.off.tx attributes.
