This research investigates a mathematical model for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections that incorporates cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immune responses and two types of infected cells. Additionally, the model reflects the effect of antiretroviral therapies. By using the next-generation matrix method, the basic reproduction number R 0 and the CTL immune reproduction number R 1 are calculated. The existence and stability of equilibria are discussed. In particular, if R 0 < 1, then the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, through analyzing the transmission dynamics of HIV within the human body under the influence of drug treatment, this study provides a theoretical foundation to optimize antiretroviral therapy strategies.

In this paper, we study a quasilinear chemotaxis model with a nonlinear indirect consumption mechanism

{v1t=∇⋅(ψ(v1)∇v1−χϕ(v1)∇v2)+λ1v1−λ2v1β,x∈Ω,t>0,v2t=Δv2−wθv2,x∈Ω,t>0,0=Δw−w+v1α,x∈Ω,t>0,

in a smooth and bounded domain Ω⊂Rn(n≥1) with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, where χ,λ1,λ2,θ>0,0<α≤1θ,β≥2, ψ, and ϕ are nonlinear functions that satisfy ψ(s)≥a0(s+1)r1 and 0≤ϕ(s)≤b0s(s+1)r2 for all s≥0 with a0,b0>0 and r1,r2∈R. It has been proven that if r1>2r2+1, then the problem admits a global and bounded classical solution for some appropriate nonnegative initial data.
