Feedback Control of the chemotherapy of HIV

Using a model which describes the interaction of the immune system with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), we introduce a feedback control strategy of chemotherapy in an early treatment setting, where the control represents the percentage of effect chemotherapy has on the viral production. We seek to regulate the viral count by manipulating the percentage of effect chemotherapy has on the viral production. We show via numerical simulations that the proposed feedback control strategy can handle strong uncertainties in the HIV dynamics induced by imperfect modeling and sampled/delayed cell measurements.
