Abstract
In this paper, optimal control theory is applied to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) coinfection model given by using a system of ordinary differential equations. Optimal control strategy was employed to study the effect of combining various intervention strategies on the transmission dynamics of HPV-HIV coinfection diseases. The necessary conditions for the existence of the optimal controls were established using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle. Optimal control system was performed with help of Runge-Kutta forward-backward sweep numerical approximation method. Finally, numerical simulation illustrated that a combination of prevention, screening and treatment is the most effective strategy to minimize the disease from the community.
