ModifyStiCoInfectionStatus

The ModifyStiCoInfectionStatus intervention class creates or removes STI co-infections (which influence the rate of HIV transmission). This intervention can be used to represent things like STI treatment programs or STI outbreaks.

Note

Parameters are case-sensitive. For Boolean parameters, set to 1 for true or 0 for false. Minimum, maximum, or default values of “NA” indicate that those values are not applicable for that parameter.

EMOD does not use true defaults; that is, if the dependency relationships indicate that a parameter is required, you must supply a value for it. However, many of the tools used to work with EMOD will use the default values provided below.

JSON format does not permit comments, but you can add “dummy” parameters to add contextual information to your files. Any keys that are not EMOD parameter names will be ignored by the model.

The table below describes all possible parameters with which this class can be configured. The JSON example that follows shows one potential configuration.

Parameter	Data type	Minimum	Maximum	Default	Description	Example
New_STI_CoInfection_Status	boolean	0	1	0	Determines whether to apply STI co-infection, or cure/remove STI co-infection. Set to true (1) to include co-infection; set to false (0) to remove co-infection.	{ "Intervention_Config": { "class": "ModifyStiCoInfectionStatus", "New_STI_CoInfection_Status": 1 } }
