摘要
We develop mathematical models to estimate the number of HIV positive People in U.S.A., in U.K., and in Canada in 2001. In all the three cases, our estimates are very close to the official ones. It is emphasized that our estimates depend upon the models and will change as we change the models and/or the assumptions therein.
