The basic reproduction number R0 is derived from the next-generation method. Global stability of the alcohol-free equilibrium is obtained. The persistence of our model is also derived. Furthermore, the SAITS model with nonlinear infectivity is also investigated. Stability of all the equilibria and persistence are also obtained. Some numerical simulations are also presented to verify and extend our theoretical results %U https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17513758.2019.1683629
