摘要
This paper focuses on the study of a stochastic model for predicting the seroconversion time of HIV transmission using geometric process. In the estimation of expected time to seroconversion, there is an important role for the inter-arrival times between successive contacts and it has a significant influence. In this paper, it is assumed that the sequence of random variables denoting inter-arrival times between contacts forms a geometric process. The mean time to seroconversion and its variance are derived and numerical illustration is provided.
