- AIDS2 is a mathematical model of the AIDS/HIV epidemic. It is also
- an interactive hypertext tutorial covering the mechanics of the
- epidemic. Starting with the first HIV infection, it covers the
- spread of the disease through the US population to over a million
- infected today. Extensive popup explanations cover each detail of
- the model. Using multiple parametric tables, hands-on
- experimentation with cultural ideas is encouraged. Comparative CDC
- and US Census data is supplied with provisions for updating.
-
- procedure:
- 1. Place diskette in drive and close door.
- 2. Move to the diskette drive. (If drive is A, enter A: and
- <return>)
- 3. Call the program. (enter AIDS2 and <return>)
-
- At any point in the program, rapid exit is possible by repeating
- 'esc' until DOS prompt appears.
-
- suggested first learning trip through the program:
- 1. at main menu, use arrows or mouse to select each line entry and
- read explanation for each line with ? or right mouse button. Note
- that popups disappear automatically when you select the next item,
- move the mouse, or touch any key.
- 2. enter F1 to observe the reported and calculated data for 1993
- 3. repeat the same process as in 1. above for each subject line.
- 4. with arrows or mouse, select 'more data' screen button.
- 5. go to second data page with left mouse button or <return>.
- 6. repeat the same process as in 1. above for each subject line.
- 7. return to first data page with 'esc'.
- 8. page forward in time with the page down button.
- 9. page back in time with the page up button.
- This completes a study of the data assets of the program.
-
- Suggested second learning trip through the program:
- 1. from the main menu select F3 to observe the parameter page.
- 2. repeat the process of selecting each line item (we suggest that
- you start with the top one and work down), while reading each
- explanation popup.
-
- Now you are in a position to question the mathematical model,
- substitute your own ideas, and test the results by comparing your
- data with the CDC reported information.
