The balance of power between HIV and the immune system

Abstract

There are several theories of the pathogenesis of HIV that attempt to explain the long and variable delay between infection and disease. Here, each theory is reviewed within the context of a simple mathematical model of the interactions between HIV and the immune system. From this model, a theoretical index of progression has been derived that combines elements from each proposed mechanism.
