Modelling Optimal Control of In-Host HIV Dynamics Using Different Control Strategies

Table 3

Control variables for HIV in vivo model.

Control variable	Description	Purpose
	Fusion inhibitors	Are a class of antiretroviral drugs that work on the outside of the host T-cell to prevent HIV from fusing with and infecting it.
	Reverse transcriptase inhibitors	Are a class of antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV infection by inhibiting the reverse transcription process.
	Protease inhibitors	Are a class of antiviral drugs that are widely used to treat HIV/AIDS by inhibiting the production of protease enzyme necessary for the production of infectious viral particles.
