Abstract
In Nahmias (1989), a mathematical model was developed for the spread of AIDS by a female prostitute, which assumed that the numbers of visits of a given client to that prostitute had the geometric distribution. However, the geometric distribution gives incorrect results in some cases. In this note, we consider a normal distribution for the number of visits and show how the expected numbers of clients to which she transmits the virus changes as a result.
