Structured models for heterosexual disease transmission.
An SIS model for a heterosexually transmitted disease with core and non-core compartments and a generalized recovery function P(t) is analyzed. It exhibits R0 threshold behavior and leads to discussions of stability with respect to choice of P(t), and of the effects of allowing recruitment between core and non-core groups.
