| Abstract: |
The author discusses how dynamic modelling innovations focused on co-infection epidemics can be used to develop prevention interventions. Particular attention is given to the challenges associated with developing infectious disease interventions such as those for the HIV virus for high-risk patients who inject drugs, men who have homosexual intercourse, and female sex workers. |
