Markov Modeling of Hiv Infection In Russian Population.

Over the past five years, the prevalence and incidence of HIV in Russian Federation have increased dramatically (Fig. 1-2) [1-6]. The application of global Markov models, i.e. ARAMIS and CEPAC, for cost-effectiveness analysis in Russia is not possible due to differences in the disease classifications and lack of statistical data. The purpose of this work was the modeling of HIV progression in Russian HIV-infected population.
