Research Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the qualitative behavior of HIV dynamics models with immune impairment. The HIV particles infect both CD4+ T cells and macrophages. Both latently and actively infected cells are incorporated into the models. The models consider multiple discrete or distributed delays to characterize the time between an HIV contact of an uninfected target cell and the creation of mature HIV. The existence and global stability of the steady states are determined by the basic reproduction number. The global stability analysis of the steady states is performed using Lyapunov method. We solve the system of delay differential equations numerically to support the theoretical results.
