Description

Human immunodeficiency virus infection better known as HIV has spread through communities for decades. As it moves through a person's blood it effectively infects more and more cells and can lead to the development of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). By using differential equations that model the per capita death rate of uninfected cells, infected cells, and virus particles, along with techniques such as Runge-Kutta we can predict the rate at which healthy cells will become infected.
