Mathematical Modelling of HIV Diseases Using Numerical Solution

Exploring the Impact of Key Parameters on the Spread of HIV/AIDS

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) which is characterized by the progressive failure of the human immune system. AIDS is a major public health, sociological and economic concern and a cause of deaths in many parts of India.HIV primarily infects a class of white blood cells called CD4+T cells and this selective depletion of CD4+T cells which plays a central role in immune regulation serves as a clinical indicator for measuring the progression of HIV infection. Numerical simulation of the model is implemented to investigate the sensitivity of certain key parameters on the spread of the disease. The current paper highlights the mathematical modeling of HIV diseases using numerical solution.
