Abstract: A Malthusian model clarifies the effects of an epidemic on fertility and on the age structure. An HIV/AIDS epidemic leads to a decrease in fertility, a result consistent with the case of sub-Saharan Africa, but sensitive to national conditions. The fall of fertility might be limited to one generation.
