Treatment for gonorrhea infection with antimicrobial resistance tracking.

Successful treatment clears infection immediately. Unsuccessful treatment reduces infection duration and relative transmissibility but lowers the agent’s future treatment response (rel_treat). Unnecessary treatment also reduces rel_treat, modeling resistance accumulation.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
pars	dict	Parameter overrides (e.g. base_treat_eff, rel_treat_unsucc, rel_treat_unneed).	None
eligibility	func	Function returning eligible UIDs.	None
max_capacity	int	Maximum treatments per timestep.	None
years	list	Calendar years during which the intervention is active.	None
name	str	Intervention name.	None
**kwargs		Additional parameter overrides.	{}

Methods

Name	Description
step	Apply treatment. On each timestep, this method will add eligible people who are willing to accept treatment to a

step

interventions.gonorrhea_interventions.GonorrheaTreatment.step()

Apply treatment. On each timestep, this method will add eligible people who are willing to accept treatment to a queue, and then will treat as many people in the queue as there is capacity for.

UpdateDrugs

interventions.gonorrhea_interventions.UpdateDrugs(
    pars=None,
    eligibility=None,
    years=None,
    *args,
    **kwargs,
)

Intervention that switches the gonorrhea drug regimen when resistance is high.

Monitors the population-level mean rel_treat and, when it drops below threshold_amr, resets all agents’ treatment response to 1.0 (simulating a switch to a new drug). The previous rel_treat values are stored for reference.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
pars	dict	Parameter overrides; key parameter is threshold_amr (default 0.05).	None
eligibility	func	Function returning UIDs to monitor.	None
years	list	Calendar years during which the intervention is active.	None
**kwargs		Additional parameter overrides.	{}
