Abstract

This paper presents a therapy that uses a constant drug dosage for leading a HIV patient to a LTNP (Long-Tenn Non-Progressor). From analysis of CTLp (Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte precursor) concentration at equilibrium point and bifurcation of equilibrium points, we found the therapy with a drug whose efficacy is less than one brings higher CTLp concentration at the equilibrium point. From this fact, we propose a treatment with constant drug dosage. which can induce LTNP.
