Model figure. The compartments are: susceptible to infection (X), susceptible while on PrEP (XPrEP), infected but not diagnosed (IND), infected and diagnosed but not on treatment (ID), and infected, diagnosed and on treatment (IDT). The rates of exchange between compartments are: the force of infection (λ), force of infection while on PrEP (λPrEP), rate of PrEP initiation (σ), rate of HIV testing (ψ), rate of ART initiation (κ), and rate of ART dropout (κDT), Entry and exit rate not due to HIV (μ), exit rate while infected (μHIV), and exit rate while infected and on treatment (μHIV_T). Individuals who are on PrEP (XPrEP) who become infected become aware of their HIV status within one year and therefore move to the diagnosed (ID) compartment
