Drugs and treatments#

The following parameters determine the efficacy of drugs and other treatments.

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.

Description

Example

ART_CD4_at_Initiation_Saturating_Reduction_in_Mortality

float

0

3.40E+38

350

The duration from ART enrollment to on-ART HIV-caused death increases with CD4 at ART initiation up to a threshold determined by this parameter value.

 
{
    "ART_CD4_at_Initiation_Saturating_Reduction_in_Mortality": 350
}

Maternal_Transmission_ART_Multiplier

float

0

1

0.1

The maternal transmission multiplier for on-ART mothers.

 
{
    "Maternal_Transmission_ART_Multiplier": 0.03
}

Report_HIV_ByAgeAndGender_Collect_Intervention_Data

array of strings

NA

NA

[]

A list of interventions used to stratify the report. This allows for reporting on a subset (or all) of the interventions that an individual has been on, of those listed in the Intervention_Name campaign parameter. Note: this can only be used with interventions that remain with an individual for a period of time, such as VMMC, vaccine/PrEP, or those with a delay state in the cascade of care. See Individual-level interventions for a list of possible interventions.

 
{
    "Report_HIV_ByAgeAndGender_Collect_Intervention_Data": [
        "ART_Intervention",
        "PrEP_Intervention"
    ]
}

Report_HIV_ByAgeAndGender_Collect_On_Art_Data

boolean

0

1

0

When set to 1, the On_Art_Dim column is included in the output report. The report data will be stratified by those individuals who are on ART and those who are not. Cannot be used with Report_HIV_ByAgeAndGender_Collect_HIV_Stage_Data. Note: setting this to 1 doubles the number of rows in the output report.

    "Report_HIV_ByAgeAndGender_Collect_On_Art_Data": 1
