Investigating the impact of stochasticity on HIV infection dynamics in CD4+ T cells using a reaction-diffusion model

The disease dynamics affect the human life. When one person is affected with a disease and if it is not treated well, it can weaken the immune system of the body. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system, of the body which is the defense line against diseases. If it is not treated well then HIV progresses to its advanced stages and it is known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV is typically a disease that can transferred from one person to another in several ways such as through blood, breastfeeding, sharing needles or syringes, and many others. So, the need of the hour is to consider such important disease dynamics and that will help mankind to save them from such severe disease. For the said purpose the reaction-diffusion HIV CD4 + T cell model with drug therapy under the stochastic environment is considered. The underlying model is numerically investigated with two time-efficient schemes and the effects of various parameters used in the model are analyzed and explained in a real-life scenario. Additionally, the obtained results will help the decision-makers to avoid such diseases. The random version of the HIV model is numerically investigated under the influence of time noise in It o ^ sense. The proposed stochastic backward Euler (SBE) scheme and proposed stochastic Implicit finite difference (SIFD) scheme are developed for the computational study of the underlying model. The consistency of the schemes is proven in the mean square sense and the given system of equations is compatible with both schemes. The stability analysis proves that both schemes and schemes are unconditionally stable. The given system of equations has two equilibria, one is disease-free equilibrium (DFE) and the other is endemic equilibrium. The simulations are drawn for the different values of the parameters. The proposed SBE scheme showed the convergent behavior towards the equilibria for the given values of the parameters but also showed negative behavior that is not biological. The proposed SIFD scheme showed better results as compared with the stochastic SBE scheme. This scheme has convergent and positive behavior towards the equilibria points for the given values of the parameters. The effect of various parameters is also analyzed. Simulations are drawn to evaluate the efficacy of the schemes.
