Abstract
We present a deterministic HIV/AIDS model with delay. We then extend the model by adjoining terms capturing stochastic effects. The intensity of the fluctuations in the stochastic system is analytically evaluated using Fourier transform methods. We carry out simulations to assess differences in the dynamical behavior of the deterministic and stochastic models. Simulation results show that they are no significant differences in the behavior of the two models.
