Abstract:
      In this paper, we propose a multi-stage HIV infection model with general incidence rate to describe the influence of raltegravir intensification on viral dynamics. The basic reproduction number $R_0$ is established. The infection-free equilibrium\ $E_0$\ is locally asymptotically stable if $R_0<1$. The infection equilibrium\ $E^*$\ is locally asymptotically stable if $R_0>1$.
