Evaluating the Risks: A Bernoulli Process Model of HIV Infection and Risk Reduction.

Pinkerton, Steven D.; Abramson, Paul R.

Evaluation Review, v17 n5 p504-28 Oct 1993

A Bernoulli process model of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is used to evaluate infection risks associated with various sexual behaviors (condom use, abstinence, or monogamy). Results suggest that infection is best mitigated through measures that decrease infectivity, such as condom use. (SLD)
