If X0<Nc, then Y→0, i.e. the parasite cannot maintain itself in the population. So
based from the compartment model above if Y→0, then eventually there will be no
addition to [Z] so Z→0, i.e. infectives and the immune class will eventually die out.
It follows that the reciprocal of Nc, which we denote by σ=βb+r is the infection’s
contact rate. If X0=N, then the basic reproduction rate of infection R0= σN=βNb+r .
We can see in the following graphs that as v(t) increases faster than linearly, then
the fraction who are HIV positive but do not yet have AIDS, x, decreases faster
(converging to 0), and the fraction who have AIDS, y, increases faster (converging
to 1).
