Flow chart of the different categories and flows considered in our model system. For simplicity, we considered 1 type of treatment when analyzing the effects of an increase in high-risk behavior and treatment delay. When considering the effects of overall change in treatment strategy, all categories and flows were included in the analysis.

Figure 1. Flow chart of the different categories and flows considered in our model system. For simplicity, we considered 1 type of treatment when analyzing the effects of an increase in high-risk behavior and treatment delay. When considering the effects of overall change in treatment strategy, all categories and flows were included in the analysis. Abbreviations: m, mortality (composed of background deaths for all categories, and for persons in the chronic phase of infection, HIV-related deaths are included); Rx, treatment; R, resistance; M, monotherapy; H, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Color code for the categories' encircling ovals: black (uninfected); purple (wild type); blue (monotherapy resistant strain); green (HAART-resistant strain). Background code of oval categories: no fill (untreated); tan (monotherapy); gray (HAART). Code for the categories' encircling ovals: single, no staging (uninfected and acutely infected); double, staged categories (persons in the chronic phase).
