A delay differential equation model of HIV infection of CD4+T-cells with cure rate

A delay differential equation as a mathematical model that described HIV infection of CD4+T-cells is analyzed. When the constant death rate of infected but not yet virus-producing cells is equal to zero, the stability of the non-negative equilibria and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated. A stability switch in the system due to variation of delay parameter has been observed, so is the phenomena of Hopf bifurcation and stable limit cycle. The estimation of the length of delay to preserve stability has been calculated. Further, when the constant death rate of infected but not yet virus-producing cells is not equal to zero, by using the geometric stability switch criterion in the delay differential system with delay dependent parameters, we present that stable equilibria become unstable as the time delay increases. Numerical simulations are carried out to explain the mathematical conclusions.
