MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE SPREAD OF HIV/AIDS CONSIDERING THE LEVEL OF IMMUNITY
Abstract
The immune system, crucial for defending the body against infections, is a primary target of HIV, compromising its ability to resist illnesses that may progress to AIDS. This study develops a mathematical model incorporating the immune response to simulate HIV/AIDS transmission dynamics. The model analysis includes the determination of equilibrium points, the basic reproduction number , and bifurcation behavior. Two equilibrium points are identified: the disease-free and endemic equilibria. The disease-free equilibrium is asymptotically stable when , while the endemic equilibrium is stable when , indicating persistent transmission. A forward bifurcation occurs at , which biologically implies that reducing below one is critical for eliminating the disease. Numerical simulations using actual data yield an estimated with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 4.5583%, indicating good agreement between the model and data. Although the model assumes homogeneous mixing and constant parameters, it provides meaningful insights into HIV/AIDS transmission and offers a quantitative basis for evaluating control strategies.
