For this new model, we study the existence of non-negative equilibria, bifurcation of equilibria, and stability of equilibria. We also carry out numerical simulations to illustrate all possible dynamics. In addition, we numerically explore drug therapy treatment strategies to find the right regimes for the strengths of the therapy and the duration of the treatment so that sustained immunity can be established.text/xmlix, 57 pageselectronicen-CAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2HIV (Viruses) -- Mathematical models.HIV infections -- Mathematical models.Immunocompetent cells -- Mathematical models.HIV-positive persons -- Chemotherapy -- Mathematical models.master thesis2020-07-08Wang, LinWatmough, James(OCoLC)1150888836Mathematics and Statistics
