  Here we study ODE epidemic models with spread of awareness, assuming that a
certain proportion of the hosts will become aware of the ongoing outbreak upon
recovery. This study builds on W. Just and J. Saldana's work in [1], and is
conducted under the same framework, while addressing the influence of the
awareness gained from direct experience of the disease.
  In [1], the authors investigated the question whether preventive behavioral
response triggered by awareness of the infection is sufficient to prevent
future flare-ups from low endemic levels if awareness decays over time. They
showed that if all the hosts experienced infection return directly to the
susceptible compartment upon recovery, such oscillations are ruled out in
Susceptible-Aware-Infectious Susceptible models with a single compartment of
aware hosts, but can occur if two distinct compartments of aware hosts who
differ in their willingness to alert other susceptible hosts are considered.
Qualitatively, the models studied here produce the same results when we assume
that recovery from the disease may or even will convey awareness from direct
experience.
