This paper explores methods of formulating and solving equations for related deterministic and stochastic models of interacting groups in the AIDS epidemic. Computational as well as analytic methods are used in a variety of models which exhibit stationary behaviour in the limit. The advantages and drawbacks of applying computational methods to deterministic and Markovian models of interacting groups having no analytical solutions are discussed.
