HIV Progression
HIV Progression
This Demonstration implements the mathematical model of HIV infection as described in [1]. The notation used here, which differs from that of [1], is as follows:
X
Y
V
Uninfected T cells are produced at a rate .
α
In the absence of a virus, uninfected T cells die at a rate .
βX
Uninfected T cells turn into infected T cells at a rate .
γVX
Infected T cells die at a rate , releasing virus particles each time an infected T cell dies.
κY
μ/κ
Finally, free virus particles are eliminated by the body at a rate .
