Summary of key variables and main influences in model.

Predicted outcomes 2025–2060 of eight vaccine introduction scenarios in 2025.
<p>(i) prevention efficacy 0.0, viral load efficacy 0.0 log<sub>10</sub>, (ii) prevention efficacy 30%, viral load efficacy 0.0 log<sub>10</sub>, (iii) prevention efficacy 50%, viral load efficacy 0.0 log<sub>10</sub>, (iv) prevention efficacy 90%, viral load efficacy 0.0 log<sub>10</sub>, (v) prevention efficacy 0.0, viral load efficacy 1.0 log<sub>10</sub>, (vi) prevention efficacy 0.0, viral load efficacy 2.0 log<sub>10</sub>, (vii) prevention efficacy 50%, viral load efficacy 1.0 log<sub>10</sub>, (viii) prevention efficacy 90%, viral load efficacy 2.0 log<sub>10</sub>. All in the context of vaccination at 15, with a rate of vaccination per 3 months of 0.3 amongst those age 15–17 (and a 5 year catch-up program amongst adults age 18–30 covering 50% of the population of that age), with a maximum coverage (in 15–17 year olds) of 70%, and with regular boosters every 5 years (the assumed duration of vaccine effect) with 80% of people being adherent to these boosts.</p

Mean over 2040–2060 of on-going vaccine effect, HIV incidence (per 1000 person years and death rate (/100 person years) in the whole population, according to variations in vaccine implementation characteristics.
<p>Base scenario: Coverage 70%, boosting to age 50, with 80% completion rates to boosters, no tapering in effect over time, and with an adult catch-up program in 18–30 years covering 50% of the population of that age, rate vaccination  = 0.3/3mths, vaccine effect on VL in 100% of people, duration of vaccine effect 5 years, age of introduction 15. For each row, one characteristic is made different from the base scenario. 95% CI shown in Table S1, along with further comparisons.</p><p>Mean over 2040–2060 of on-going vaccine effect, HIV incidence (per 1000 person years and death rate (/100 person years) in the whole population, according to variations in vaccine implementation characteristics.</p
