\noindent 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.
