Abstract: oindent We formulate an age-structured three-staged nonlinear partial differential equation model that features {it nonlinear} recidivism to the infected ({it infectious}) class from the {it temporarily} recovered class. Equilibria are computed, as well as local and global stability of the {it infection-free} equilibrium. As a result, a backward-bifurcation exists under necessary and sufficient conditions. A generalized numerical framework is established and numerical experiments are explored for two positive solutions to exist in the {it infectious} class.
