Thesis (PhD (Physics))--Stellenbosch University, 2009.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation investigates certain key aspects of mathematical modeling of HIV and TB epidemics in South Africa with particular emphasis on data from a single well-studied community. Data collected over a period of 15 years (1994 to 2009) in Masiphumelele, a township near Cape Town, South Africa are used to develop a community-level mathematical model of the local HIV-TB epidemic. The population is divided into six compartments and a system of di®erential equations is derived to describe the spread of the dual

Abstract:

The first two official AIDS cases were diagnosed in South Africa in 1982. During the same period of the 1980s, the black/African population was experiencing an accelerated fertility decline, following a period of accelerated mortality decline. Demographers invoked the demographic transition theory to explain the observed mortality and fertility decline. According to the demographic transition theory, mortality and fertility rates would continue declining to low, post transitional levels with increasing modernization. The relatively higher prevalence of HIV/AIDS estimated among black/African So

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to establish a new understanding of the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS at the municipal level, but at the same time upholding the anonymity of the HIV infected and AIDS sufferers. Innovative research techniques such as the use of GIS (geographic information systems) as a research tool contributed to disclosing the patterns of the HIV pandemic in the Nelson Mandela Metropole that were not obvious or visible before. GIS involved geographic maps that detect the spatial relationship between HIV prevalence rates and vectors that drive the pandemic.

This study proposed a modification of the traditional cost-of-illness approach.

Arguably, the most important cost associated with HIV/AIDS results from the high rates of morbidity and mortality among working age adults, the vast majority of those infected. These are essentially losses in an economy's existing stock and potential accumulation of human capital, implying

Abstract:

HIV/AIDS is a deadly disease that needs to be addressed with immediate effect before serious damage can occur. Because the government has a responsibility over the health of its citizens, everybody expects the government to take a lead in the fight against this epidemic and from the look of things the government's strategies are not making the desired impact on the epidemic. The author attempted to highlight that the South African government has not played a satisfactory role in the fight against this pandemic, which threatens to alter history to a degree not seen in the world.

Abstract:

Recognizing that a parent is a key role player in fighting HIV/AIDS, the researcher conducted a study to examine and describe the knowledge parents have of this disease and its virus. The study was conducted among a sample of 100 parents/guardians, using a questionnaire to examine the respondents' conceptual, episodic, descriptive, procedural and declarative knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The study found that the respondents lacked especially conceptual and declarative knowledge and that the main factor contributing to knowledge is the level of education.<br>Health Studies<br>M.A. (Health Studies)

Abstract:

The recommended infant feeding method for mothers living with HIV is either exclusive breastfeeding for six months or replacement infant feeding (RIF), while a mixed feeding method carries the greatest health risks for infants. This study focused on identifying the challenges faced by mothers who opted for RIF and the coping strategies they employ. A theoretical framework, based on gender and power, was developed. The study used a qualitative design, with semi-structured in-depth interviews. Using purposive sampling, data was collected at three clinics from 22 participants. The participants r

Many of the caring tasks previously done by health care professionals are these days handled by caregivers. Caregivers are selected, trained and to a certain extend supervised. Little attention is however given to the effects that care giving has on their physical and mental health and own needs for caring and support. This study is an exploratory, qualitative and quantitative investigation into the effects of care giving on the physical and mental health of caregivers in HIV and AIDS programmes to determine their needs for ongoing support.
