emodpy_hiv.interventions.cascade_helpers.add_choice(camp, sympto_signal='NewlySymptomatic', get_tested_signal='GetTested')

Listen for a trigger. Defaults to ‘NewlySymptomatic’. Then toss a fair coin; in case of heads, Distribute diagnostic (and publish signal – default is ‘GetTested’; tails maybe it’s just a cold (‘Ignore’).

Parameters

  • camp – The central campaign accumulator, from emod_api.campaign.

  • sympto_signal (str) – The signal or trigger we are listening for. Doesn’t have to be anything to do with

symptomaticity but defaults to “NewlySymptomatic”.

get_tested_signal (str): The signal/trigger published if coin toss is heads and person gets tested.

emodpy_hiv.interventions.cascade_helpers.add_test(camp, get_tested_signal='GetTested')

Listen for get_tested_signal signal (defaults to “GetTested”). Then give HIV RapidDiagnostic test after a delay of 30 days. Publish ‘HIVPositiveTest’ on +ve or ‘HIVNegativeTest’ on -ve.

emodpy_hiv.interventions.cascade_helpers.trigger_art_from_pos_test(camp, input_signal='HIVPositiveTest', output_signal='StartTreatment', lag_time=30)

Listen for HIVPositiveTest trigger. Then Trigger ART. Note that Trigger ART isn’t same as starting it.

emodpy_hiv.interventions.cascade_helpers.add_art_from_trigger(camp, signal='StartTreatment')

Actually distribute ART if a StartTreatment signal/trigger is observed. Broadcast a StartedART signal synchronously.

emodpy_hiv.interventions.cascade_helpers.trigger_art(camp, timestep, coverage, trigger='StartTreatment')

Schedule a broadcast of StartTreatment (or equivalent), not based on any observed signals.
