TL;DR
The incubation period distribution of AIDS is estimated from the grouped bivariate data which arises from a prevalent cohort study using a penalised likelihood approach to obtain smooth estimates.
Abstract
The incubation period distribution of AIDS is estimated from the grouped bivariate data which arises from a prevalent cohort study. A penalised likelihood approach is used to obtain smooth estimates of the incubation period distribution. We also examine how the individuals age at HIV infection and changes in the incubation period can be incorporated into the analysis.

A two-stage parametric regression model is proposed for the analysis of cohort studies during an epidemic in which the exact times of infection cannot be ascertained and it was found that hemophiliacs with severe Type A hemophilia were at highest risk of infection, and therisk of infection increased sharply in the early 1980s.

It appears that AIDS incidence could be retarded in underserved groups, such as IVDUs, by making AZT and other state-of-the-art treatments readily available to AIDS-free patients with advanced immunodeficiency.

Progression time to AIDS was significantly faster in older hemophilic men, but not in older homosexual men, probably because of different exposures to potential opportunistic pathogens.

CD4+ lymphocyte number was the most consistent predictor of initiation of therapy over all four study visits, and the possibility that nonclinical factors not measured in the MACS may play an important role in predicting zidovudine use is explored.

In this article, the usefulness of the penalized likelihood approach is illustrated and the use of a cross-validation and a Bayesian scheme to choose the smoothing parameters and bootstrap samples to assess uncertainty is discussed.
