Abstract:
      In this paper, we propose an ordinary differential equation model with logistic target cell growth to describe influence of raltegravir intensifi- cation on viral dynamics. The basic reproduction number R 0 is established. The infection-free equilibrium E 0 is globally attractive if R 0 < 1, while virus is uniformly persistent if R 0 > 0. In addition, we find that Hopf bifurcation can occur at around the positive equilibrium within certain parameter ranges. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate theoretical results.
