Table 2

For the three mixing assumptions, we show the estimated mean time to ART corresponding to a prevalence of 5%. For this prevalence and for each of the three mixing assumptions, we also show the route of transmissions and HIV prevalence for the two respective activity degree groups. The shown values for the time to ART treatment are for high active individuals, the time to ART treatment for low actives is 2.35 times larger. For the allocation of the 5% infected we show the percentage of high actives and low actives, respectively, that are HIV positive
