Reassessing the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Life Cycle through Age-Structured Modeling: Life Span of Infected Cells, Viral Generation Time, and Basic Reproductive Number,R0

Abstract excerpt

The rapid decay of the viral load after drug treatment in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been shown to result from the rapid loss of infected cells due to their high turnover, with a generation time of around 1 to 2 days. Traditionally, viral decay dynamics after drug treatment is investigated using models of differential equations in which both the death rate of infected...
