An Age-Structured Model of HIV Latent Infection with Two Transmission Routes: Analysis and Optimal Control

Figure 3

Dynamics of the virus and latent reservoir predicted by model (33). (a) The latently infected T cells and viral load reach an infected equilibrium of model (33) without treatment and , where . (b) The latently infected T cells and viral level are predicted to go extinct under treatment: and . (c) The latently infected T cells and viral load persist at low levels under therapy: and .
