We investigate the global dynamics of an HIV infection model with two classes of target cells and multiple distributed intracellular delays. The model is a 5-dimensional nonlinear delay ODEs that describes the interaction of the HIV with two classes of target cells, CD4+T cells and macrophages. The incidence rate of infection is given by saturation functional response. The model has two types of distributed time delays describing time needed for infection of target cell and virus replication. This model can be seen as a generalization of several models given in the literature describing the interaction of the HIV with one class of target cells, CD4+T cells. Lyapunov functionals are constructed to establish the global asymptotic stability of the uninfected and infected steady states of the model. We have proven that if the basic reproduction numberR0is less than unity then the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable, and ifR0>1then the infected steady state exists and it is globally asymptotically stable.

We study the global dynamics of an HIV infection model describing the interaction of the HIV with CD4+T cells and macrophages. The incidence rate of virus infection and the growth rate of the uninfected CD4+T cells and macrophages are given by general functions. We have incorporated two types of distributed delays into the model to account for the time delay between the time the uninfected cells are contacted by the virus particle and the time for the emission of infectious (matures) virus particles. We have established a set of conditions which are sufficient for the global stability of the steady states of the model. Using Lyapunov functionals and LaSalle's invariant principle, we have proven that if the basic reproduction numberR0is less than or equal to unity, then the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable (GAS), and if the infected steady state exists, then it is GAS.
