HIV/HCV coinfection model: a fractional-order perspective for the effect of the HIV viral load

Abstract We study the burden of the HIV viremia and of treatment efficacy in the severity of the patterns of the HIV/HCV coinfection. For this, we derive a simple non-integer-order (fractional-order) model for the coinfection dynamics. Fractional-order models have been proved in the literature to pr...
