Statistical Analysis of the Time Dependence of HIV Infectivity Based on Partner Study Data
基于伴侣研究数据的 HIV 传染性时间变化分析
Statistical analyses of data from studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission in partners of infected individuals often focus on estimation of the per contact probability of virus transmission, or infectivity. Of particular interest is evaluating whether the infectivity changes during the course of a partnership and identifying factors that influence the infectiousness of the initially infected partner (called the index case) and the susceptibility of the…
