Abstract

Floquet theory and perturbation techniques are used to analyze a classical within-host virus model with periodic drug treatment. Both single and multidrug treatment strategies are investigated. Specifically, the effects of both RT-inhibitors and P-inhibitors on the stability of the infection-free steady state are studied. It is found that when both classes of drugs have periodic drug efficacy functions, then shifting the phase of these functions can critically affect the stability of the infection-free steady state. A numerical study is conducted to illustrate the theoretical results and provide additional insights.
