Abstract In this paper, a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection model that includes a protease inhibitor (PI), two intracellular delays, and a general incidence function is derived from biologically natural assumptions. The global dynamical behavior of the model in terms of the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 is investigated by the methods of Lyapunov functional and limiting system. The infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $\mathcal{R}_{0}\leq 1$ R 0 ≤ 1 . If $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ R 0 > 1 , then the positive equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the main results and to analyze thre effects of time delays and the efficacy of the PI on $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 .

We make a mathematical analysis of an age structured HIV infection model with both virus-to-cell and cell-to-cell transmissions to understand the dynamical behavior of HIV infection in vivo. In the model, we consider the proliferation of uninfected CD[Formula: see text] T cells by a logistic function and the infected CD[Formula: see text] T cells are assumed to have an infection-age structure. Our main results concern the Hopf bifurcation of the model by using the theory of integrated semigroup and the Hopf bifurcation theory for semilinear equations with nondense domain. Bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist some parameter values such that this HIV infection model has a nontrivial periodic solution which bifurcates from the positive equilibrium. The numerical simulations are also carried out.
