Abstract
In this paper, a delayed HIV/AIDS epidemic model with saturation incidence is proposed and analyzed. The equilibria and their stability are investigated. The model exhibits two equilibria, namely, the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium. It is found that if the threshold R 0<1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and if the threshold R 0>1, the system is permanent and the endemic equilibrium is asymptotically stable under certain conditions.
