Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, necessitating effective control strategies. This article presents a mathematical model to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of medical mask usage and case detection in TB control. The model is constructed as a system of ordinary differential equations and incorporates crucial aspects of TB dynamics, including slow-fast progression, medical mask use, case detection, treatment interventions and differentiation between symptomatic and asymptomatic cases.

- - The article presents a mathematical model for HIV/AIDS, focusing on CD4+ T cells and antiretroviral treatment using the SITA framework, which separates infected and treated individuals based on their CD4+ counts.
- - Findings indicate that the global stability of an HIV/AIDS-free state is affected by the basic reproduction number, with bifurcation analysis showing a key transition at a reproduction number of one.
- - The model is validated with data from high-prevalence countries (Eswatini, Lesotho, Botswana, South Africa) and emphasizes the importance of tailored strategies for each country, highlighting that improving condom quality can significantly aid in reducing HIV/AIDS prevalence.
