Snippet: • The susceptible compartment refers to individuals who are injecting drugs and who are sharing needles with other members in the IDU community. • The needle population is divided into two compartments: infected and uninfected, and we model the dynamics of each compartment separately. • New infections (of both people and needles) will depend on the fraction of infected or uninfected needles in circulation. • There are various estimates fo.....
Document: • The susceptible compartment refers to individuals who are injecting drugs and who are sharing needles with other members in the IDU community. • The needle population is divided into two compartments: infected and uninfected, and we model the dynamics of each compartment separately. • New infections (of both people and needles) will depend on the fraction of infected or uninfected needles in circulation. • There are various estimates for the ability of HCV to survive in needles [58] [59] . We incorporate HCV freeliving survival via the parameter , which quantifies the rate at which the virus spontaneously clears from infected needles.
