This paper investigates the transmission of HIV/AIDS-COVID-19 co-infection and the impact of interventions using ordinary differential equations. The model analysis shows that the solutions are non-negative and bounded, and the computation of the basic reproduction numbers is done using the next-generation matrix approach. The sensitivity analysis reveals that transmission rates have a direct impact on the basic reproduction numbers, while protection and treatment rates have an indirect impact.
HIV/AIDS-COVID-19 co-infection is a major public health concern especially in developing countries of the world. This paper presents HIV/AIDS-COVID-19 co-infection to investigate the impact of interventions on its transmission using ordinary differential equation. In the analysis of the model, the solutions are shown to be non-negative and bounded, using next-generation matrix approach the basic reproduction numbers are computed, sufficient conditions for stabilities of equilibrium points are established. The sensitivity analysis showed that transmission rates are the most sensitive parameters that have direct impact on the basic reproduction numbers and protection and treatment rates are more sensitive and have indirect impact to the basic reproduction numbers. Numerical simulations shown that some parameter effects on the transmission of single infections as well as co-infection, and applying the protection rates and treatment rates have effective roles to minimize and also to eradicate the HIV/AIDS-COVID-19 co-infection spreading in the community.
