Limited medical access creates nonmonotone social response dynamics in which awareness initially lowers infection but can later weaken or reverse. The limited-access infection-rate curve permits multiple endemic states, folds, grazing bifurcations, and hysteresis. At higher incidence, protective effects can weaken because prevention becomes tiresome, unaffordable, or apparently ineffective and exposure to hungry vectors persists.
