Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Nutrition plays a critical role in care, support and treatment of HIV infected individuals. In this paper, an HIV/AIDS mathematical model that incorporates supplementary feeding is formulated and analysed using the system of ordinary differential equations. The model has two equilibria, the disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium. Analytical analysis of the model shows that the disease-free and endemic equilibria are globally stable for R < 1 and R > 1 respectively. Numerical simulations are done to show the role of some key model parameters as well as to verify some analytical results. The results of the study show that supplementary feeding taken concurrently with antiretroviral treatment can control the HIV/AIDS transmission by reducing the reproduction number thus leading to the disease control.
