This article discusses model development for HIV-infected populations using the sys tem dynamics technique. The technique has an advantage over conventional model ling techniques as it is dependent more on causal relationships that involve qualitative and quantitative variables to model socioeconomic problems of a complex nature. The model has been simulated and the results have been compared with the available data.
